Ruthless Gods

What. A. Book. I wasn't sure I would even read this because I had such a hard time connecting with the first in the series but blood and bone did I love this one. We pick up with our cast of characters after the devastating events at the end of the first book. The connection I had been looking for with Nadya, Serefin, and Malachiasz in the first book that had felt weak, immediately sucked me in and I was fully invested in their journey. This book had everything I had been looking for in the series. There's wild, dark magic, battles with ancient gods and goddesses, torturous romance, and high, high stakes, that kept me hooked the whole way through. This book will break your heart, put it back together, and break it all over again--in the best way possible! Not for the faint of heart.
