Wow, just wow, this book left me breathless, gasping, exhilarated, enchanted, amazed and that’s just skimming what I felt and still feel after finishing. “I’ll wait countless lifetimes for you...” I didn’t think it was possible but I am even more in love and so heavily invested in this phenomenal journey with Cael, Drayce, Eno and Rayne. Oh, the trials that Cael faces and I fear he must still face have my heart in a unyielding grip. The emotional scenes between the men left my heart crying for more. The suspense, the found family, the deep love—of all kinds—that these incredible men have, and the indubitable magic that is this series, I freaking love it all so much. It’s fantastic, enthralling, I guess you could say this book breathed life into me, and I need more.

Yes we are back with our four boys right where we left off! We really get immersed into this world in this book! Learning so much more about each of our guys and the strengths and weaknesses they each bring! There is a lot more action mixed with some fun and romance although this is still a slow burn as there is so much more in store for all of them both together and in their own separate growth and duties! God I love ENO by the way- so sweet and possessive!!! Despite all the politics, secrets and betrayals.. this book is above all about loyalty! I received an ARC of this book and cannot wait for the next one! I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves an Epic Journey with fantastic fantasy world building! Magic, Emperors, Gods, and a lot of Action!

4.5 stars.
i've gotten used to the technology a bit more. different towns/countries (or w/e they are called) of course have different status levels i guess (idk the right word). like some places have more electricity than others, some places are OLD and have older buildings and things like that.
but these books are such quick reads so far, and there have been so many plot twists and i can never guess what's coming next.

Ok book 2 kicked up the action a few notches! Our lovely heroes are on the run and trying to find allies in a different country. They don't know who to trust or why their home was attacked. They find out new and shocking information from the Queen of the country they escaped to.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. We get to learn more about the Godstones and how they came to be. We are introduced to the Emperor and learn what his actual plans are and we get to watch our boys grow even closer to each.
Cael, is learning how to use his new powers, coming to terms with his feelings for Drayce and how to be a King. It's all alot for a 23 yr old, but he handles it pretty well. I was shocked with how very human he was. He is flawed and lets his emotions get the best of him sometimes, but that is was makes him such a believable and lovable character.
Drayce got the shock at the end of book 1, but not a bad one. We get to see him grow more as a bodyguard the more fights they are involved in. But, Drayce also keeps his positive and carefree attitude, which Cael appreciates. We do get a glimpse of him losing faith, and it was hard as Drayce is such a sweet guy.
Rayne is freaking brilliant. The way his mind works and how he is able to see several steps ahead is such a thrill. But my favorite scenes with him are when he is vulnerable. The times when he lets his walls down and shows us that he isn't this robot advisor is great. We do get one scene where he looses his temper and explodes and it is epic!
Eno is a sweet beast. He tries so hard to keep everyone safe and cared for. Seeing him act possessive was so fun. He knows he's not as smart as Cael & Rayne when it comes to political strategy, but he is ok with that. He plays to his strengths. I was disappointed in him when he tried to make a big decision for Rayne without consulting him, but I understood where he was coming from
All in all this vol was really great. We get learn more about our enemies and the Gods/Goddesses. I can't wait for the next vol.

Lovin this series! One book one god, I can do that :) I thought the fact that there were 2 relationships being developed at the same time in secret was going to be tiring... But no... These 4 put good sexual tension in everything!
Also, angst, drama, full power and also romantic and adorable. I'm so here for this!
