Aiden Thomas has done it again!!! This book was SO GOOD! A wonderful conclusion to The Sunbearer duology! This story picks right up from where we left off in The Sunbearer Trials. There are alternating POVs from Xio and Teo.
Niya, Teo, and Aurelio traveling to Los Restos was full of surprises and humor, but also deep moments between the trio. Niya being vulnerable with Teo. Aurelio being very timid, but slowly getting comfortable with them. Teo trying to be a strong leader. This trio was my favorite!!
The chapters with Xio and the other semidioses in Los Restos were so heartbreaking, but also funny with commentary from Auristela and Ocelo. I just wanted to hug them all. Atzi was my favorite! The relationship between the semidioses was complex.
Overall, I loved everything about this book! The writing, plot, and characters were all done so well. Thank you NetGalley and Feiwel & Friends for the arc! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
