I can’t recommend the series enough, and this beautiful gem, Ruthless Gods just upped the ante. This is a dark YA novel, it’s entrancing, magical, bloody, stunning, creative, wonderfully addictive awesomeness.
Told from their points of views, with some side characters that steal the show, it’s wonderful. It is so unendingly intriguing to be pulled apart and spliced back together by the flaws and motivations of these three.
Nadya, Serefin and my absolute love, Malachiasz, are everything. The characters of this diabolical tale are stellar. I was heartbroken over the ending for book one and the end of book two just shattered me. Ruthless Gods is the follow up to Wicked Saints, which was one of my favorite books last year, so much so that I have three copies of the book. She’s a genius world-crafter with a stunning gift for penning words. Lyrical, bloody, stunning, heart-breaking, savage, all-consuming. I don’t know if Duncan sold her soul to a deity that blessed her with her gift for writing, but wow, she has an incredible talent. I adored this novel from the very first sentence to that brutal heart stopping epilogue. If you loved Wicked Saints buckle up, you're in for a divine ride.Įmily A Duncan’s Ruthless Gods is gorgeous gothic goodness, drenched in blood, and dripping in melancholic beauty. My one and only complaint is that some of the inner monologues were quite repetitive, but its such a small gripe that I can't justify giving it any less than 5 glowing stars. This series is so beautifully gothic and gory, no one is safe and you feel all the trauma right along with them. Each of these characters has stayed true to what they felt even with shifting alliances and new threats emerge. I honestly enjoyed this title even more than the first, not only because our characters felt more confident but the author truly was comfortable in this wonderful world she created. I absolutely devoured Wicked Saints and knowing that Ruthless Gods is almost 200 pages longer than Wicked Saints I was hungry to devour it. I feel so blessed in receiving a copy of this title. As our main three all feel a pull to the west what awaits them and what more can be sacrificed to Ruthless Gods? Malachiasz, monstrous and lost with unimaginable power while still feeling inadequate in regards to his goals. Serefin, hearing voices and learning new facets of magic he never thought possible. Nadya, dealing with the silence of her Gods even after doing what they asked by tearing down the barrier keeping them out of Tranavia. In Ruthless Gods we follow Nadya, Serefin, and Malachiasz as they deal with the consequences of actions taken in Wicked Saints. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
