Rating: ★★★★½ (4.5/5) – Loses half a star only because the middle third drags slightly, like a river through a swamp. But oh, that ending.
Gil writes with the precision of a watchmaker. He doesn’t rely on sword clashing for tension. Instead, he builds horror out of silence, out of a creaking floorboard, out of the way a candle flickers in a room full of kamis (spirits). The title is the key to the whole novel. In Shinto belief, there are yaoyorozu no kami —literally eight million gods. Not just one deity on a throne, but spirits residing in trees, rivers, ancestors, and even the dust motes floating in a sunbeam. David B. Gil - Ocho millones de dioses.m4a
