The Throne of Broken Gods

Wow. Well, if the first book started slow, this one started with G force speed. It picks up right where the first one left off, with rage and sorrow and grief leading the way.

I really liked how many different characters perspectives this book had - I think there were 5 or 6? Initially I was not sure how I would feel about it, but I ended up really liking it.

I really enjoyed reading through Dianna's pain and healing, and seeing everything Samkiel does to help. It was endearing (yes, even the killing certain betraying assholes is endearing to me and you can't change my mind).

It ends on the ultimate cliffhanger and I cannot wait until the third one comes out! If you like bad ass FMC, morally grey everyone, world building, gods, monsters, pain, despair, love, healing, stages of grief, this book is for you!

I will say this could be a difficult read for people who aren't seasoned readers. My reasoning for this is the different character perspectives, and also the timeline. Each chapter tells you where in time they are (2 weeks later, 1 day later, etc.) but it jumps around. So maybe it is 2 weeks later from Samkiels perspective, and then the next chapter is 6 months later from Dianna's perspective. I was able to stay on track but less seasoned readers could get confused.

I also really loved this book and devoured it in like two days.
It is much longer than most books and the writing remains to be so good, you hang on to every word. Really love this style and the story is getting better and better.

Summary of book #2:
Diana has become crazy wth bloodlust and kills everyone who betrayed her after another. Only the witch is allowed to live to help her. Samkiel tries to get her back but it takes over half the book for her to finally get back to him - while saving Nev & Logan on another planet where Kaden was preparing for the war. Diana also killed Tobias during that time.
To the end, she finally calms down again and also cannot withhold any longer from her love of Samkiel. But then the big betrayal happens, mainly by Vincent who was working for Kaden all along. Which is revealed to be the brother of Nismera “the one true king” and she succesfully kills Samkiel.
But Diana brings him back to live with losing the mate bond for them both and is able to flee together with the fate.
