The Song of the Marked

If I could, I would give it 4.5 stars!!

I adore S.M. Gaither and this book is another banger! It's a perfect first book for a series. It sets up character traits and dynamics and at the end swirls everything around into a big mess to dive right into during the next book! Secrets are revealed, promises are broken, bonds are formed, and patience is tested. I've read the Flame & Sparrow duology so having prior knowledge of how the Gods system works is helpful but this book does take place a loooooong time after the duology so I'm intrigued to see just how similar and different the lore will be in the later books. I'm very excited to continue reading this completed series!
