- ends in cliffhanger

- spice 4/5 (very good spice!!)

I immediately jumped into this from Book 1, and I was not disappointed. The cliffhanger in Book 1 is less easy to predict than the one here, and I went in already mad about Book 3 not being out because I knew what was coming. Beware this book if you don’t like unfinished series, this will leave you hurting.

Spoiler for cliffhanger

I thought it was pretty obvious that the price for resurrecting Samkiel would be something to do with their finally-admitted love. I’m expecting him to have lost feeling for her maybe in the next one, since she still seems to have feelings for him? Unsure, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m excited to see how that gets resolved, though, since I fully expect everyone to live and love again.

The world-building continues in this book, and at this length it gets pretty detailed. I’d argue it is close to being a bit too much in terms of characters to remember, side stories to follow, who feels or felt what and why. So many gods, so many celestials! Getting more info about Logan and Neverra made sense, but while I really really want Cameron and Xavier to also get a happy ending, I think their unadmitted love doesnt hit enough (yet?) to make the actions towards the end of the book make sense.

In general, this whole “suddenly everyone’s the enemy” reminded me of the Hydra-takes-over storyline in the MCU which also felt like it came out of nowhere...

I did also like the banter a LOT and had some laugh out loud or big grin moments while reading it. It might be one I pick up again, though that also depends on Book 3… no release date yet afaict, so that’s super sad. But I heard that the author got a series deal, so hope springs eternal!

Recommend this book if you like big epic stories (some parts had a whiff of LOTR for me), deliciously spicy spice, lovely banter, hot flirting… and a journey out of depression and grief. It’s such a good book.

Wow!
Yous need to read this because holy me, oh, my!

I don’t even know where to start except I LOVED IT!
I couldn’t put it down and when I had to, it consumed my thoughts. There is nothing predictable about this book / series. It’s outstanding and truly creative. I love the mythology aspects, the worlds that have been created and the beautiful multiple POVs that give us extra depth into each character even Kaden!

The angst and heartbreak in this book is soul shattering, which leaves you begging for more!

“You led me out of my darkness, Dianna. Now let me lead you, or I can follow you into the dark, but there is no me without you. Not anymore. Do you understand?”
^^^
This line is pure perfection!
Amber has an impeccable talent of being able to write and portray that earth shattering, complex feelings of each character. She has written about complex situations such as grief in a tasteful way that delves into your heart and soul which leaves you feeling like it was you who lost a family member.

Don’t even get be started on that last 30% because them twist and turns in the story! Wow chefs kiss! I already need the third book. I knew after reading The Book of Azrael that this was going to be a brilliant series but boom two has surpassed all my expectations.

The depth of characters, world building, shocking twists and developments. It all incredible.
I think I may have a new rival for favourite author! 🖤

P.S. This series has been a slow burn where he falls first and the wait has been killing me but boy was it worth it 🌶️. It was spicy, hot and beautifully written.

“You let me out of the darkness. Now let me lead you, or I can follow you into the dark, but there is no me without you. Not anymore.”

Read this adult urban fantasy romance if you love:
• Enemies-to-Lovers
• Found Family
• Betrayals & Revenge
• Morally Grey Characters
• Fated Mates
• Epic world building

I really love the 1st book so that’s why I have a high expectation for book 2. Fortunately, this sequel does not disappoint and exceed my expectation!

The Throne of Broken Gods continues right after the ending of the first book. Dianna unleash her rage and she painted the world in red.
The story is action-packed with epic battles and amazing power display that’ll leave you in awe. Dianna makes me feel scared when she’s on a rampage but her power is AWESOME!

The world building is expanding and the story is told in multiple POVs that let you see through different perspective from various characters, like the villain, the main characters and side characters.

This book focuses more on how Dianna deals with her grief in different stages throughout the story. There’s a lot of major character growth with Dianna, it’s an emotional journey where we can see her at her lowest and how she’s trying to get back up again. So much pain and anger, I got teared up here and there while reading this.

Then there’s Samkiel, he’s definitely an angel or a saint for how he supports Dianna through all of it. I fell for Samkiel's character even more in here. He’s very caring and loyal but can turn into a dangerous ruthless God when someone threaten his loved ones.

I love the found family trope in this book, how Dianna gain a new family with Samkiel’s family – The Hand. They welcome her and accepted her as a part of their own even after everything she’s done in the first half part of the book.

The last few chapters are filled with twists upon twists, some are predictable but there are some unexpected ones. It ended with a cliff-hanger, not a huge one but enough to make me feel I wish I have book 3 to continue…

Overall, this is a well written sequel that is worth the wait. It’s heart-breaking yet heart-warming at the same time. The author portrayed the FMC’s emotions perfectly – the grief, the anger, the pain and the love.

I highly recommended this series and I’m REALLY looking forward to read book 3 cause I need to know what happens next!

Hi… I am a broken woman 😭

What a roller coaster! That ending!!! Wtf!!!

I really liked book one ~ BUT BOOK 2 ❤️‍🔥

I felt like the authors writing really went up a notch. The characters jumped off the page & I could really see their different personalities. New povs were introduced & I absolutely loved getting to know them all, the found family in this book was perfection 🙌🏽

But the real star of the story is how the FMC (a villain) is portrayed. The reason she becomes a villain is explored, her morality, her grief, her anger (feminine rage YES PLEASE) her love.

It’s so so well done.

Dianna is honestly one of the most bad ass FMC I’ve ever read.

Now to say ’m obsessed with the mmc would be an understatement!

He is the biggest cinnamon roll for the FMC, fighting to help her every step of the way even when she pushes him away - & literally tries to kill him… He never gives up on her.

The authors characterisation of a grumpy god, who would do anything for her, lightening at his finger tips, polite to everyone while also being extremely strong with the worlds on his shoulders…. & then a dirty mouth in the bedroom 🫠

I honestly have no words for this man.

HE IS ELITE

You really had to work for their relationship in this, THEY WENT THROUGH IT!

There was so much pain but OMG was it worth it!!

The world building expanded & the plot really opened up as well. Huge plot twists & reveals along with absolutely HEART WRENCHING scenes.

While I was reading I often felt like I was watching a tv show. The action was so well plotted. The emotions of the characters jumped off the page & the dialogue was perfection.

If you are someone who loved Buffy, the vampire diaries or the originals (especially the villains / morally grey characters & strong, smart arse fmcs) then this is a series for you.

✨ 5 stars ✨
🌶️ 2 spice 🌶️

“When I burn this world to embers, and you paint me as the villain, remember, I really did try to be good… once.”

This is the one cliffhanger that has caused me to be emotionally conflicted…I am satisfied but want to scream.

This book was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and probably my favourite of 2023 so far. This book was absolutely incredible.

The writing, phenomenal. The characters, absolutely amazing. The plot, exciting.
Everything in this was just chefs kiss.
I love the whole touch of grief and how it dealt with in this book in a way that embodies the characters. Speaking of characters, I am so in love with every single one of them. There is no character that in this that doesn’t have their own story shown and I have loved them all every single moment (well…most of them…) AND THE FOUND FAMILY IN THIS. I wanted to sob from how cute the moments were…

Dianna and Samkiel. My absolute favourite couple. It’s reverse grumpy x sunshine. Dianna is chaos and such a badass and Samkiel adores her either way. THERE IS NOTHING I WOULDNT DO FOR THEM.

The plot in this was amazing, it just keeps getting better and better. I seriously didn’t want to put this book down even when I had too. It is a pretty big book but there wasn’t a single moment I was bored or confused. The writing style was amazing and I love love love the mysteries unraveling in this!

Also…WE FINALLY GOT SPICY SCENES (THE spicy scene). I have waited sooo long for this moment and I was so freaking happy.

I am going to need book 3 to come out ASAP. I have so many questions and I need to know what happens next like now.

So yes, I obviously recommend this book and this series. For those who love dark fantasy romances then please…do yourself a favour and read this series. (sorry for the emotional trauma you may encounter along the way but blame Amber Nicole not me)

Please check TWs and CWs, 18+
Happy reading 🤍
