A demoness is what they call a Goddess that men cannot control
This book was amazing, I loved every minute of it. I loved the romances so much, too. I'm for sure going to read both the sequel and more books by [a:Rin Chupeco|7055613|Rin Chupeco|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1552918654p2/7055613.jpg] as fast as possible!!!

I'm not sure why everyone gave this book such negative reviews. I found it interesting. Was it anywhere near as good as the Bone Witch trilogy by this author, not in a million years. But it was a thoroughly enjoyable book. It was pretty predictable, but still interesting. I'll be moving on to the next book.

Audiobook was hard to follow for some reason, even though it was well made.
But I really liked Rin Chupeco's writing again, can't wait to continue to her next book in this series

The Never Tilting World is a gripping fantasy novel about duality in all its forms. After the world literally breaks in two, part of it is encased in eternal darkness, situated in a wintry seascape full of monsters and unpredictable storms while the other part is plagued by a never retreating sun in a desert landscape also full of monsters, cannibals, and devastating sandstorms. Twin sisters are being trained to rule these worlds, each believing the other is dead, but both believing they can bring the world back to the way it was. They set out in separate quests with their own crews and try their hand at defying their fate... or perhaps, cementing it.
Rin Chupeco weaves a spectacular tale of light and darkness and the things we choose to embrace. The story plays out in grand scale across horrific and beautiful landscapes of both nature and the soul itself complete with monsters that take many shapes. It asks the question what would you give up if you could have the power to remake the world? How do you navigate such grand destinies and stay your course as yourself in the face of your sacrifices? Told in alternating viewpoints from each of the twin goddesses determined to right the wrongs and the two people who choose to fight with and love them, The Never Tilting World is an incredible journey from start to finish that will leave you breathless with anticipation and fear for the future. Readers will be eagerly anticipating the next installment of this truly memorable quest full of prophecy, love, heartbreak, and a knock down drag out fight for everything you hold dear.

This book caught my attention since the first chapter. At times though, the book did feel somewhat slow. Despite this, I feel the character development and relationships were nicely done. I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending, but I definitely want to see how the series continues. It is a very interesting concept to me and I am extremely curious how the author will continue with it. Looking forward to the next book!

So the tagline "Frozen meets Mad Max" has to be the weirdest, yet the most accurate tagline for a book ever. Plot-wise I won't say too much, as it's still a while before release, but if you liked The Bone Witch, you should check it out. Similarly, this book takes its time getting going and really shines in the complicated relationship dynamics and interesting world-building.
The two cities in this book are completely different. Each is ruled by a twin sister, who has their own daughter. One city is cold and full of all the water they need, the other is hot and set in a more desert climate. Each city faces its own issues, and they are, at least in some aspects, some issues we could ourselves face one day if we don't deal with the climate issues we face. Well, sans magic.
There are three aspects to this book that really impressed me. Firstly, the relationship dynamics between the characters, especially the sisters is complicated and fascinating. Sibling dynamics are always a fascinating read, and the ones here are suitably complicated. I really grew to enjoy all of the characters, and Rin got me very invested in seeing their outcomes.
Next, I want to take a moment and let y'all know that this book has an f/f romance, with a meet-cute. Sadly, f/f romances, especially in sci-fi/fantasy, are so tragically underrepresented that this is a welcome bit of fresh air. Bonus points, because this isn't an angsty coming out story. I appreciate those a lot, but it is satisfying to see a world where it's normalized rather than watching the characters struggle for an acceptance they should already have.
Lastly, I was very impressed by the parallelism in the contrasting worlds. I found it satisfying to watch the characters in their opposite worlds working towards similar but opposite goals. I think it was incredibly well done, and I look forward to enjoying the full payoff in the sequel.
The only criticism (which isn't much of one!) is that the ARC I read obviously didn't contain any maps or glossaries. Both I think are required for this kind of book, and Rin's writing style. I have every confidence, however, that both will end up being in the final publication, so I'll update then. <3
