while i did love all the lore and the story was great and we love a morally grey mmc
this series fell a little short of my expectations- because i was expecting this to be a 5-star read. it is still wonderful to read and makes for a very well done audiobook though. i had fun!

The bittersweet and gorgeous finale to the fantastic duology featuring a songstress and the boy she loves who must find a way to defeat the Demon Gods while holding onto their souls... but with great magic comes a price and they might have to pay the ultimate price. Picking up where the first book left off, Lan has inherited the power of the Silver Dragon and has made a new deal with the demon. She is determined to eliminate the Demon Gods forever in order to save her kingdom, but in order to do that she must obtain the only magical weapon that can kill the Demon Gods, the Godslayer. She is also still reeling from the murder of her newly discovered father by the boy she loved who also betrayed her, Zen. Zen has sold his soul to gain the powers to eliminate the conquerors who killed his family and stole his kingdom. Zen bound himself to the Demon God, the Black Tortoise... yet the more he uses it's powers the more it gains control of his body and soul.... yet there is one thing that Zen still yearns for, to be with the girl he loves, Lan. With two Demon Gods still on the loose and the enemy Elantian invaders trying to hunt down the same Demon Gods to bind, both Zen and Lan will have to face the betrayal that happened between them as well as the love that still remains. Can they find a way to work together to save those they love as well as repair the damage down between each other? Or will their bonds to their Demon Gods destroy them? This was such a fantastic and beautiful end to the series. I was devastated for them but I loved the journey and the story captivated me until the end. I loved the mythology and the world that was created and the romance between Lan and Zen ramped up in this book. I had a blast with this overall series and would highly recommend it!

I enjoyed this better than the first book. The internal battle over morals and what needs to be done isn't always the easiest option.
