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.

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.

I absolutely fell in love with both of these MCs. They were so different and I loved how it was shown with their inner monologues. The mutual possessiveness and jealousy had me giddy with delight. This was one of those books that just couldn’t help but love, it hits in all the right feels and burrows its way in where I can't stop thinking about it. Definitely a great first read of the year.

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.
