I fell in love with Godkiller and absolutely could not wait for this one to be released. I can say wholeheartedly that this book did not disappoint in the slightest. I normally am not a fan of second books in a trilogy because it's normally build up to the big action coming in the final book. However, this book DELIEVERED! I felt like something was happening on almost every page! Our group is split up. We start to learn that Hseth might not be as easily destroyed as we thought! We see gods start working together because they are concerned. One thing I liked about this one is how much more we get to learn about Elo, Inara and Skedi.

Elo is on a mission to destroy Arren at all costs and this causes his path to diverge some from Inara's. However, Inara and Skedi spend some time with Kissen's sisters and in the process we get to see the tension in the bond between Inara and Skedi... but most importantly we get to learn more about Inara and what she is. I loved getting to spend more time learning about the characters other than Kissen in this one. Don't get me wrong Kissen is amazing, but it was nice to see Inara start to grow into herself. Elo's struggle with separating the friend from the person who betrayed him is also this intense thing to watch unfold.

This book has plot twist after plot twist! I cannot express the number of times I squealed while reading! I adored it. The twists were just so perfect. I think they work so well to build up the narrative of the story. I loved that we got to see so many more gods in this story. It had a lot of action at the end and still so much was left unsaid that I look forward to seeing how the final installment plays out. So if I was to have one complaint about this book it's that I now have to wait to see how it all ends... I really don't know if I'll make it.
