I enjoyed the characters in this book (especially Nikolai) but the plot and execution were lacking. Nikolai was funny and absolutely unhinged, which worked as a perfect opposition to the closed-off, repressed Bran. Nothing about Nikolai's approach was healthy or acceptable, but that's given in a dark story like this. Although the mafia theme was rather ridiculous, especially when you compare the blurbs of the other books in the series (God of Fury is the only one that I've read) to the actual characters in the background. :D Let's take Killian, who's depicted as a dangerous monster wherever you look, and what he does in the background of this book is mostly cuddle and kiss his girlfriend. All the killing, torturing, and violence is mostly on the periphery (

except things like Grace's death which was another level of unhinged, and not in a good way

). Some emotions were very surface-level, especially on Bran's side (surprisingly). There were moments when I was wondering whether it was inspired by "For The Fans" in some way, especially

Bran's staring at a mirror, "not your baby", repressed trauma that makes you conceal your sexuality, the new Instragram photos every day, the "bimbo" character and so on

.

Most of the "dark" characters seemed rather playing at mafia than actually being a part of it, and the book could have been half of its length if the author got rid of all the repetitions and unnecessary scenes, but being in Nikolai's head was so funny, and I liked how they opened up to one another in the end.

Terrible awful no good very bad plot. The writing was so repetitive, could have gotten rid of 100 pages and not lost any meaning. The dialogue was worse than The Phantom Menace. This book was so hyped up and was such a horrible excuse for MM romance/representation. The violence wasn’t even that dark, just strange and sometimes random. Could have done with the use of third person instead of first. I wish I could have my time back.

OMG! This is one the one for me. I love how Niko & Bran are together. I can see this definitely as a grumpy x sunshine that is dark, but I love them two. I love how persistent and unrelenting Niko was to be with Brandon. I love how he knew that he would have to be evil person and their relationship in order for him to get through his walls.

Brandon person calm down Nikolai demons. I know, I wouldn’t say tame but almost mute his very destructive and violent tendencies. I love both of them together. I really really enjoyed reading this. The spice was off the charts and it was good. Seeing the other characters go through their stories. Also seeing the story play out.

This is now ranked number two of my top five legacy of God series. God of malice still, number one. I cannot wait to get the special editions of the ones I love and enjoy! I will be recommending this as a read to everyone.

I went into this book fully expecting to love Brandon. He was that character that kept appearing, and it always seemed like everyone relied on him. He was really like the heart of the group for the Elites. He also tried to keep his twin in check whenever he could or was constantly apologizing to him. In the later books, we knew something was happening between him and Nikolai. Still, we had never really understood how deep it went. Now, as for Niko, he was the crazy man who would appear just to cause chaos within the Heathens. He also seemed quite a bit because he's best friends with Jeremy, Killian's cousin, and Mia's big brother. We've seen these two quite a bit in the series already. Still, if you've read any of these books, then you know nothing is ever as it seems, so I shouldn't be surprised that I ended up being obsessed with Niko. Don't get me wrong, Brandon was excellent and had a lot going on, more than we could even imagine, and I loved how obsessed Nikolai got and just didn't ever let him go. I couldn't put this book down. It was amazing! It might be one of her darker books, but I'm still very new to Kent, so take it with a grain of salt. However, all her books lean heavily into the darker side of things. I cannot wait for the next book. However, I'm very nervous about it. The next one is the last, and I'm just not that attached to Ava. I want to know what's happening with Theo, especially after this book. But it would be nice to see Silver and Cole! Plus, the fact that these two end up together ties nicely back to the end of Ruthless Empire when baby Eli was obsessed with Baby Ava!

Oh my God I loved this book! Nikolai was so amazing and hilarious and my heart broke for Bran. The audiobook was really powerful, the cast did such a great job and it broke my heart even more. The angst and break ups were hard to deal with and I didn't enjoy that part.
I hadn't read any of the other books in the series when I first listened to this and I didn't feel like I was missing anything but now that I have gone back and read them I see how the series flows together and it's cool seeing moments of Niko and Bran throughout the other books.
Definitely check the trigger warnings, as someone with mental health issues I found this book hard to cope with at times but I loved niko and bran so much that I couldn't stop listening.
