I liked the book but it also hovered on the cusp of okay for me ratings-wise. I wish I had liked it more and it is a little frustrating that I didn’t but that is what it is. I decided not to round up for this one on here since Storygraph allows more of a breakdown for star ratings. I am hoping the next book will be something I enjoy more. I didn’t write down any quotes or favorite scenes for this one if it tells you anything. Oh well, I am still planning on reading the final book in this series.

So fun! Almost reminded me of Percy Jackson but for grown-ups.

This book definitely moved at a much faster speed. I love the huge cast of characters, the growth of every single character. Tesh, Brin, Roan, Tressa, Moya, Rain 😭.

There is also a bunch of lore-dropping in this book which was very much needed. This series is so different from the Riyria series, but it has grown on me. Bring on the last book. 😭

Another great book, but I will say the emotional investment in this one felt subpar? Which is strange because I already love and care about the characters, yet despite the many dangers, there were few times I felt concerned…I’m not sure

But the writing, as always, 10/10! Loved the building upon the gods and their world’s history- really excited to see what happens with Suri!
