I think Bran deserves a better person to be with him. 
I do not like the way this author writes MM, I know it's her first, but I also think it should be her last. 
Nikolai is absolutely the reason why I didn't like this book. I do not find him funny, nor a good character at all, he pretty much doesn't have a personality, besides thinking about his dick and violence.
Brandom also fell flat, we don't really have a view of him in some ways besides his trauma and some struggles. 
I'm not a fan of the parents chapters, mainly because they're SO bland...
Also these book all follow THE EXACT same formula, c'mon rina, give us something more exciting. 
I basically am forcing myself to finish this series, and I just know eli and ava is going to be disappointing.

The answer is yes, that's all you really need to know. God of Fury has quickly risen to the very top as my current fave in this series. 

I didn't know what to expect, but Nikolai being absolute unhinged when it comes to Bran. It was everything and more. Infinite love for these two and their story.

I will say, Landon secured the #1 spot after I finished this one.

God of Fury goes down as my first 5 star read of the year. Rina's books never fail and I simply can't get enough.

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.

(Okay my review keeps refreshing so I can't remembe  eveerything i was gonna say sjdbdbs)

Wow God bless I love Bran and Niko!!! this is my favorite Rina book it almost didn't feel the same as the rest of the legacy series. Niko is a fantastic boyfriend kinda just unfiltered but full of genuine care. Bran has a fantastic character arc and when he lets himself be, hes such a great boyfriend back. The way they both help fight each other's demons is so so good. Bran's ace rep makes me happy and the heavier topics are intense but handled pretty carefully. I loved Bran and Lan's relationship and seeing it from Bran's pov.

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!

Had some cheesy lines but if you like dark rom-coms, this  is a good one. Chef's kiss to the narrators.

First and foremost: MIND THE CONTENT WARNINGS
this book deals with a number of dark and potentially triggering topics, so make sure you are in the correct headspace before diving into this book (and the series in general);

I’ve often struggled with queer romance for one reason or another - it can be a minefield - but this story handled it well. Writing an Ace/Demi character is not easy, so having a main character experience what many who identify with Ace-spec have is refreshing and oddly validating.

I’ll just began by saying that it was so much better than I thought it would be ? 

I loved Brandon so much and it honestly hurt me to know how he felt about himself and how he never let himself be happy. And everytime he was getting better it was worse the second afterward. (Definition of one step forward and three steps back). I liked that we saw so much his struggles and how he began to be better towards himself thanks to Niko. He deserves to love himself and be happy. 
Niko is the definition of being pathetically in love. I know a lot of people found his monologues cringe but I personally found them funny and I loved being in his head. I appreciate that Niko never truly abandoned Brandon and his need to know him and what was going on in his head is what saved Bran. I was a little disappointed that Niko had difficulties respecting Bran’s boundaries, mostly when I could literally feel what Bran was feeling at those moments.

I had an idea of what the past of Brandon must have been, for him to feel nauseous when people touch him. So I wasn’t surprised at the reveal but the moment after Niko saw the video 😨 Like I was not expecting Bran’s reaction to Niko seeing the video be THAT. I was so chocked !!! (Also that video was very hard to read about like, Grace got what she deserved).

Another little regret is that I would have liked to be more details and moment with Nikolai and his mental health issues as well. We saw what was going on internally for him, but I wish we got a little more. 

Honorable mentions : 
- Landon and Brandon’s relationship. I don’t need to say more, they were perfect and cute. 
- The brotherly moments between the guys and seeing their friendship. Also Eli being a big brother to all of them.
- Levi’s chapter. It was a masterpiece.
- Landon and Niko teaming up to kill Grace (their love for Bran overpower their hatred for each other). 
- Any cute moment between Bran and Niko. 
- The EliAva crumbs 🤭
- The Gareth / Kayden scene (she can’t give us that and not write a book or novella about them). 
- Niko jealous of a child. 
- Bran possessive (we talk a lot about possessive Niko but I liked when Bran was the possessive one).
- The glimpse we got of the other couples 
- The friendship showed between all of the LoG characters.
