HATE THE ROMANCE
Why is she completely ignoring Rian? He's way more interesting than Wolf. Her interest in Wolf is pure lust/Stockholm syndrome.
Rian is dark and certainly morally grey, but he's way more interesting and has more respect for Sabine. He's not trying to force her behind him.
The plot itself is OK enough, but not good enough to cover the horrible romance.

I fell in love with Evie Marceau's work when I read book 1 in The Godkissed Bride series, White Horse Black Nights. You can imagine my excitement when I saw I was chosen to be an ARC reader for Silver Wings Golden Games. Did it disappoint? Of course not! It was just as good, if not better, and left me wanting for more. Book 3 cannot come soon enough!
Silver Wings Golden Games continues the story of Sabine and Wolf, following the events of book 1. The sequel is intriguing, enthralling, it keeps you on your toes waiting to see what happens next. And the spice is executed perfectly - there is a chapter (won't spoil which one) that will be living rent free in my head for months to come.
Evie knows her characters and makes us connect with them - Sabine grows into her power and finds more of her inner voice, and I love how her character develops; Wolf is still your perfect morally grey character, but with more layers now. Side characters are great, too, and this is maybe why Silver Wings Golden Games is even better than book 1, the story is broader, more complex.
We are left with a huge cliffhanger, and now we hold our breaths until book 3 :)

Drama!
2nd book and this one had so many twists, Sabine is heartbroken over Basten’s betrayal, Basten has to see Rian all over Sabine, and they still love each other! Without spoiling of course so much happened and knowing there was a third book I knew a heart break was coming…. sure enough! But loved and will be going into next!

“If you’re going to kill me, best get on with it. Because if you aren’t, drop that damn knife so I can kiss you.”
Betrayed by the man she loved and betrothed to his lord, Sabine has to hone her skills and balance political and family intrigues in an attempt to gain her freedom.
While the first book in the series mainly focused on introducing the gods and godkissed magic while heavily relying on the romantic plot, the sequel invests some more time into developing the political setting and introducing various (new) players.
Sabine enters a new deal with her soon-to-be husband that requires her to use her godkiss. At the same time, Wolf renturnes to his cabin and investigates the breach of the northern border.
Due to the dual POV, the reader has more knowledge than each individual character at every time point, but it is still easy to follow the story and collect the puzzle pieces.
Of course, there's a lot of romantic going on, too. I'd say it's about 50% of the book (not exclusively talking about spice here!) and especially lovers of forbidden romance, knife-to-throat and a "good girl" will have their fun reading.
