Description
From the multiple best-selling author team that brought you Pattern Black and Burnout comes a brand new transcendent mindfuck of a fantasy novel.
Two powerful and fierce immortal gods are trapped on an island, endlessly pursuing a Sisyphean task that must be completed each day and is renewed each night.
Enemies forced to work together, they sabotage each other, play tricks on each other, and murder each other, only to be resurrected the following day. Yet, despite the daily friction and violence, ultimately, they live in an uneasy balance.
Until the day the stranger arrives. Then the balance tips, the pit collapses, and all hell breaks loose.
The Island is a brand new stand-alone fantasy novel by those masters of story, Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant. Get your copy today.

This book made me quite emotional, which I didn't suspect in the beginning. It reminded me a bit of the very lovely, but also gutwrenching book Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech.
To put it simply, the book surprised me. I would say it was delightfully sad and not at all what I expected from the description. With many underlying themes and great reveals at the end.
The plot revolves around Atticus and Gerd, two semi-god-like figures trapped on an island, endlessly tormenting each other and fulfilling meaningless tasks, until one day - something appears that wasn't there before. Or was it? The question the book raises is, do they deserve each other or their predicament, and is there perhaps a way out of it?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It filled an afternoon for me that I consider well-spent. Thanks NetGalley and the authors for the advance copy.
