Merciless by Crystal Ash
3.0
I have been generous with the ratings these last two books. This series has slowly gone off path. What started off as a strong woman surviving a dystopian world controlled by violent men, turned into a strange American Gods rip-off.
This book had too much drama, and not enough of the character interactions that made me fall in love with the series in the first place. The first 40% of the story has incredibly graphic torture scenes of two favorite characters. What was the point it all that pain and agony? It was awful to read and did nothing for the characters, or the plot, or the story. It made zero sense.
Then all of a sudden people have new abilities, and there are new Gods and it all felt rushed. I really missed those deeper relationship dives that were in the first few books.
I’m looking forward to the Sons of Odin spin off series.
