This series stays strong and there is so much action happening. Although, I do want to warn new readers that you do need to read these books in chronological order as each one picks up after the next book. So, to really get the full enjoyment out of this series, you do need to read the books in order.

It is kind of the Kerrigan show. Her and Fordham have been transported through the portal, but they are separated. So, a good portion of the story features Kerrigan and her trying to survive so she can get home. I grew more impressed by Kerrigan and how far she has come from the beginning to now.

The world building is another thing I really like about this series. It is great and this series needs to be made into a tv series. What a cliffhanger!

I'm obsessed!! I'm obsessed with Kerrigan and her strength, her fearlessness and her fight. I'm obsessed with the unbreakable bond between her and Fordham. And, I'm obsessed with K.A. Linde’s ability to transport me into an action packed, mystical world full of magic, betrayal and unexpected twists and turns. When I tell you this book, like the rest of the series, had me completely glued to my kindle, I mean it. I couldn't put it down.

I'm desperate for the next book. I just know it's going to be epic.

Note: House of Gods is the fourth book in the Royal Houses series and cannot be read as a standalone.
Royal Houses reading order so far:
House of Dragons
House of Shadows,
House of Curses
House of Gods

I am usually a contemporary fiction, romance, realistic fiction kind of girl.... I would say I am not a fantasy book reader, but with this series KA Linde has me questioning if I even know what I like to read! :). I have loved these books since I picked up House of Dragons, and this 4th installment is no different. I could not put it down. So glad there is still more to come, because now I need these characters and this fantasy world in my life... I'm not ready to let it go.

This is the 4th book in this series. This author has once again smashed it out of the park. I devoured this story and highly recommend this book and series.

Review: Kerrigan takes on the Gods in the penultimate book in this riveting series! Her and Ford are back and ready to fight for their kingdom as they battle the high and mighty powers of  Kerrigan’s origin story. This book is packed full of magic, mystery and mayhem as Kerrigan travels through a new realm in search of Ford and her parentage! 

 

Kerrigan is once again the slayer of odds in this book and her tenacity does not diminish at all in this part of her story. I LOVED the way she took on the loss of her magic and decided it would not weaken her. I also thought that K.A. Kinde did a wonderful job with creating the tense atmosphere she faces upon landing in a realm she is unfamiliar with and learning that Ford seemingly disappeared.  The world that was created in this book was phenomenal and I felt like it really elevated this part of Kerrigan’s story since this book centers around her learning about her origins and where she came from. I loved seeing the parallels between this world setting and the Olympian Gods with Greek and Roman themes. It made me curious how this realm will play into future series and characters after Kerrigan’s story ends. 

 

A huge part of this book was Kerrigan dealing with the loss of her magic. I thought the way K.A. Linde broached the matter was unique and intriguing since it led to the bond, she and her mother ended up forming. I also loved how Ford was there supporting her throughout it all. The book takes on a unique turn on the Cauldron aspect of Fae lore and how magical powers are bestowed and I felt like the scene where Kerrigan meets the Goddess was a pivotal point in this story. 

 

This book also showcases the strength of Kerrigan and Ford’s mate bond. The way the two were drawn to each other across a foreign realm after it was ripped away from them showed just how fated this couple is. I enjoyed how neither of them are overly touchy feely but still encompass a feeling of everlasting love. The challenges and battles they both faced in this book makes me hope they get the epic HEA they deserve and I am anxious for the final part of their story! 

 

Rating: 100+, the battle is on and Kerrigan is ready to play!
