escapismforlife's review against another edition
I 'm on a empowerment high. With this book being the third in a row that has a powerful casts of strong females.
Deka as a main character is beyond amazing, she is the type of character who is near perfection. Not to mention the rest of the near immortal young women who descended from Goddesses in this world.
Otera the kingdom setting of this book does not make these girls lives easy at all. They are labeled impure and murdered because of who they were born from. It says lot about the fear men have and the control they have to put on females from a young age, in particular with beliefs in this book. But alas the unity found in these warriors forced to fight in a place that despises them is pure excellence.
It almost broke me in more way throgout the time jumps and youth years of these girls lifes. In particular Becalis .
The ends twist and conclusion made all of it worth it because a win in a ANY society that wants to silence the real powerful is always.
Can't wait to read all the chaos that's bound to follow in The Merciless Ones.

In addition, never had I imagined that I would enjoy again a straight main couple, but they were very cute and I loved how devoted he was to her. She deserves to be happy and not suffer any longer.
Also, Ixa's sole existence adds points to the book. I LOVE TINY, AFORABLE AND FEROCIOUS CREATURES THAT ACCOMPANY THE PROTAGONIST AHHHHHHH
