"Like Jaamaro’s best work, this is a smart bit of storytelling that I totally enjoyed, and I think Dila is definitely an author to look out for more in the future. Highly recommended!" Runalong The Shelves
"The Future God of Love is a short fantasy novella, with wonderful world building, about loneliness and the need for being loved... The Future God of Love is less than a hundred pages, but Dila packs so much in those pages that it is an absolute pleasure to read... Any reader who's looking for a short read with impressive world building, great storytelling and characters you can relate to should absolutely check out The Future God of Love!" The Middle Shelf
“Dilman Dila has written a timeless novel about doomed love, using supple and evocative language in the style of Neil Gaiman, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Stefan Zweig…. A truly original story set in a world at once immersive, believable, and fun to be in, read it not just for the deceptively absorbing plot, nor the refreshing Africanized cultural context, nor even for the subtle social commentary—but for the fact that it effortlessly transports you to a world far, far away that nonetheless feels very close to home.” Strange Horizons
