This one was pretty good, although I don’t remember the two books before it all that well. I’m just bitter because at one point Zane said some Star Wars costumes were dumb. I’d say that certain elements of this one were a bit too predictable, but not all. The characters definitely had some development. I like Louie and Ren. Overall a pretty good book, and I look forward to The Throne of Sand.

You don't know how much I missed those characters and this story (⌒▽⌒)☆ 
I took 3 years to get the physical copy of this book because I wanted to complete my collection os the series, and I'm really glad I read it physically because it's a different vibe okay? 😤
It's completely different when you know you're gonna love the book to have in your hands when you read it!

Anyway, I loved how the story is different but also it's connected to the previous books. I love all the characters (Zane, Brooks, Ren, Hondo, and everyone else, even the gods but except Ixkik and Zotz they can go both rot in hell). I loved the conclusion to the story while still leaving out a few plot points ready for other stories (like the rogue godborns and a story about Ren - aka The Shadow Bruja series).
Like they seem like plot holes and they are purposefully left open, it felt perfectly in balance (*´▽`*)

Honestly I love this story because I love me some good mythology and I never read anything concerning Mayan mythology before, so this series was a great introduction to it! ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

I will certainly miss those characters I spent so much time with and they grew up with me. I will definitely read these books to my kids one day! ♡( ◡‿◡ )

In this twist and turn adventure Zane has just located the last godborn on his list but things aren't turning out to well after SHIHOM is attacked in a shocking betrayal Zane finds himself at SHIHOM sooner then expected to add to the mystery all the gods have mysteriously disappeared and the godborns are next on there list... whilst I enjoyed the first two books in the Storm Runner trilogy when it came to the third book I found it a bit slow and boring and had to push myself to read hoping that it would get better and it did but I am still not pleased with the conclusion and the twist seemed underdeveloped and like little thought was put into making the twist in the plot, if it was to have been any better making this stolen object be the Mayan calendar would have added another level to the plot and given me what I was anticipating but either way, I am looking forward to reading [b:Throne of Sand|54435522|Throne of Sand (Throne of Sand, #1)|J.C.

I'm thankful that the ARC of the first book of the next series prompted me to return to this series. All of the characters got full character development arcs that had them deal with a catastrophic situation without supernatural fallbacks. I don't have more detailed thoughts on this books since I went directly into "Lords of Night" after reading this and finished that one far more recently.

Fantastic end to a fantastic trilogy. I really enjoyed learning so much about Mayan and Aztec/Mexica mythology. The characters were well fleshed out and the story was riveting.
