AIDEN THOMAS I LOVE YOU I WORSHIP AT THE FEET OF YOUR WORK!
ok now a more normal review:
This was one of my most anticipated of 2024 and it did not disappoint! The first book was so good and this was the perfect follow up/conclusion!
Teo is such a wonderful MC and this book deals with gender so beautifully in that in this one both of our MCs are trans and even when onebriefly turns evil their pronouns and experiences are respected across society. Kids need content without transphobia, homophobia, misogyny and other isms and I think this is such a great one for kids/teens of today! It’s also perfect for adults who loved PJO, The Hunger Games and others like that!
The fantasy plot wraps up so well and it made so sense which doesn’t always happen in YA Fantasy. I really appreciated the way Thomas dealt with how the Dioses had interacted with the humans and their children. It deals a lot with power, control, vengeance, family, and love and handles them all in a way that’s just so lovely and great for adults and kids alike!
Thomas is truly a one of a kind author whose books always make my most anticipated!
