 Godkiller by Hannah Kaner is the first in a multi-POV fantasy trilogy that flips the script: humans are killing gods, destroying their symbols and shrines. An intriguing twist? The twist? Gods can’t exist without human belief.

The female main character, Kissen, is a fierce fighter navigating life after losing a leg and using a prosthesis. Fun fact: her name means pillow in German, but there’s absolutely nothing pillowy about her!

The book features fantastic queer and disability representation, including characters who are deaf and others with various challenges.

While I loved the bold premise and inclusivity, I do wish the pacing had been a little faster

I’ve been dipping my toe back in to fantasy, and after reading this I’m excited to pick up the next book in the series! The pace is a bit inconsistent, but the last few chapters had me hooked. There’s a lot of building, of the world and intention, but it pays off. I’d stick with it through the slower moments, you will be surprised after them!
