TW: violence, death, murder, torture, miscarriage, drugs and explicit sexual activity.

the goddes and the hawk is the perfect book for everyone who loves adult fantasy (it talks about gods, goddesses, divine feminine, spirituality), romance (we have slowburn romance, friends to lovers, grumpy x sunshine and enemies to lovers?) and murder mistery. i´ve never read something like this.

the world was so beautifully constructed: the temples and the districts of each element, so different but so special. 

i absolutely loved how every character was so unique: they all have their own power and the fact they have a characteristic scent? wow, i wished this was a real thing ahah. Amala is the sweetest person ever, her heart is so big. i wish we have more Amalas in the real world. and Hawk? 👀 new book boyfriend!! i love him. i can’t choose my favorite but… Blade, Naressa and Hebex are on the top for sure.

this book is biggg (600+ pages) but it´s worth every single page. the plot twists? AMAZING. i can´t wait to read the next book (yes, it´s a trilogy!)
