A cinematic ending to this series. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to punch people; all the hallmarks of a good book for me. I'm excited to see what Hannah Kaner has up her sleeve next.
Except I'm never going to forgive her foroffing Legs. Would it have killed her to have added a line with him inexplicably wandering up to Sakre at the end?? Hannah, please!
Except I'm never going to forgive her for
The ending tied things up well and was emotionally satisfying but, like book 2, the overall book was a drawn out, politically tedious slog.
It felt like such a waste of the emotionally rich character’s and their family dynamic Kaner had created in the first book. The series performed at its best when they were together but they spent the majority of the final 2 books apart.
I would’ve also liked to have seen more focus on the unique world of gods the story took place in, rather than long war strategising scenes in tents.

A beautiful finale to the Fallen Gods trilogy. Enthralling, tense, emotional.
The battle sequences were written in a way that I could very easily picture them in my head.
Thoroughly exploring the depths of love and pain; "For only love was greater than pain."; the exploration of Arren and Elogast's relationship was truly touching, and also heartbreaking. The progression of Arren's character was very special across all three books. In Godkiller and Sunbringer, Arren is the perceived antagonist, and his progression toward his devastating end in Faithbreaker was very beautiful.
Another relationship I much enjoyed exploring was that of Kissen and Inara's mother, Lessa. I got
a feeling during Sunbringer that it would develop into something further, and I was very happy when it did. Learning more about Lessa's character was special, and I felt that Kissen deserved love and happiness.
My favourite character story, however, fell with Inara. Her challenges with coming to terms with her status of Half-God, wanting to learn more about her father, and tackling difficult choices regarding her desire to be of use. So much of her identity was tied up in being Yusef's daughter, once she learned the truth. Once she was able to meet him, however, she learned that she her identity was her own.
Skediceth... ohh Skediceth. His sacrifice at the end of the war was heartbreaking. He was the powerful God that was needed to take down Hseth. Not Arren. Not Hestra. Not even Inara. His love for Inara was exceptional, deeper than anything that Kissen or Lessa could feel. She was his home.
Knowing that in this world, God's are never truly dead, and the love and faith of their believers can bring them back, I can only hope that Inara and Skedi will be reunited once more, even if he may not remember everything.
