The story picks right up where Godkiller ended, continuing with the same feel as before, but then with new, bigger stakes. The story had begun to truly take its shape — things are about to happen!
But there are also a few differences compared to Godkiller that I didn't like as much. Although these things are rather unavoidable, I think it is fair to mention them. Where the main four characters spent most of their time together in Godkiller, they are more separated, resulting in the story hopping back and forth between plots. Because of that, I had to keep mentally switching and sometimes go even about thirty pages back to check what happened.
Another thing that made it harder to follow was the solid amount of side characters added to the story. I regret not noting them down, because of their fantasy names, it was hard to keep track of them.
(But on a positive note, there is also more of Telle and Yatho)
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
