Been meaning to pick this book up for ages but was slightly apprehensive I would be disappointed due to the (quiet-ish) hype for this book. Wow I am so glad I picked it up. It was surprisingly easy for a fantasy book to enter the world. The characters were exciting (once I figured out how many POVs there were). The plot twist at the end was both predictable and not which is always great. I loved getting to know the characters and watching them learn to trust and love each other over the course of the book. I think every page was justified in furthering the characters or plot of the book and I was not able to put it down once I got to the last 30-50 pages. The multi POVs became a good storytelling took especially here. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next and unravelling more of the secrets/plotting.
I was wondering why kissen still had a gods boon from presumably osidisen as I thought she was saved by his promise. What an unexpected and convenient surprise that she’d saved it up. I wonder if Hseth was truly killed by the sea god, Kissen seems to think so but is it so easy to kill wild fire? At least if she comes back it should be a reduced form. Strange how after so much destruction it was not so complicated an end

Seeing each of the four characters’ different perspectives on the complicated relationships between gods and humans; worshippers, non-believers, and god killers was thought provoking. Where would I fall if I lived in this workd, is it so easy to resist temptation of a gods promise. How far would each of us go for it
people in this book went horrifically far
