DNFd after a month. the story is repetitive as the other books in the series :(
How do I even say this? YES! READ IT! I just finished reading the book and it has me in a chokehold. It’s one of those books you read and stare at a wall thinking “how do I move on with my life now?”

Holy crap. Rina Kent knows how to provide a good plot twist. I was not expecting the truth behind the people who were responsible for Mia becoming a mute.
Being inside Landon’s head was amazing. His way of thinking was similar to Killian, because they are supposed to be, but he is way more entertaining than Killian. The things that came out his mouth made me laugh out loud. The man didn’t know how to take no for an answer when it came to making the relationship official but he was so respectful when it came to consent.
The ending almost my heart leap out of my chest. Mia & Landon’s character development was beautiful beyond words.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Book Review: God of Ruin by Rina Kent
God of Ruin is the fourth installment in Rina Kent’s Legacy of Gods series—a dark, angst-heavy romance rooted in secrets, power dynamics, and high-stakes emotional warfare. This book centers around King’s son, Landon, whose cold, detached persona masks deep wounds and tightly held secrets. As with previous installments, this story delivers intense chemistry, delicious slow burns, and emotionally charged confrontations. Rina Kent knows how to write tension—and God of Ruin thrives on it.
This book surprised me in the best way. Out of all the entries in the series so far, this one easily ranks the highest—I gave it 4 stars, the most I’ve awarded in the Legacy of Gods universe. The characters in this installment felt more refined, and their development had real weight. The dialogue was sharp, often witty, and delivered some truly standout moments between the leads. There’s also something to be said for Kent’s ability to make predictable scenes feel enjoyable. It’s the kind of book where you might anticipate what’s coming next, but the writing is so engaging, you genuinely don’t mind. Think of it like watching a movie where the performances make even a familiar plot exciting again.
That said, while God of Ruin hit the mark, it also highlighted a deeper frustration with the series as a whole. By book four, I was hoping for more differentiation—especially among the male leads. Each one seems to follow the same emotionally detached, alpha-aggressive mold, and the romantic dynamics start to feel repetitive. Similarly, the female protagonists tend to share the same preferences and desires, which makes the relationships blur together after a while. The formula hasn’t really shifted since book one, and that sameness starts to wear on you.
It’s unfortunate because God of Ruin was everything I wanted from this series—it just came a little too late. I’m torn about continuing. On one hand, I have a strong feeling the next book might end up being my favorite of them all. But that also leads me to question: if I read the next, why wouldn’t I finish the final book too? And if I’m already burnt out from the repetition, will the payoff even be worth it?
Final Thoughts:
God of Ruin is a standout within its series, offering smart dialogue, compelling character arcs, and emotionally satisfying storytelling. While it doesn’t reinvent Rina Kent’s formula, it executes it better than any of its predecessors. Still, the repetitive nature of the series as a whole makes me hesitant to continue. If you’re already invested in the Legacy of Gods world, this book is a high point—but whether it’s enough to carry you through to the end of the series is something only you can decide.

This book is so hard to rate. Bc while the book itself was good Landon is an EXTREMELY difficult character to stomach. I truly disliked him and his antisocial, narcissistic traits. Killian was similar in nature but he was far more palpable to me for some reason? And I get that’s the point. That this book is Lan’s character arch, but fuck I loathed him till 80%. I enjoyed Mia as a character and the mystery behind her loss of voice. And tbh the ah ha moment there wasn’t what I expected. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it. It felt a little glossed over for me. As did the conflict with Maya. Despite it being one of the highest rated in the series, it’s my least favorite so far bc I just cannot get on the Landon train till the last 20%.
