Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner

5.0

 Release Date: Feb 15th (US 12th March)
YES YES YES!!!

I read Godkiller as an audiobook not long after it came out in early 2023. I loved it so much I ordered a hardback edition from overseas. So when I was approved for the eARC of Sunbringer I binge read it within a few days.

It gave me everything I wanted. I got answers to so many questions Godkiller left me with after that cliffhanger ending. And of course now I have more questions after finishing this one. We got to spend more time with characters we were introduced to in the first book and discover more about their relationships and daily lives.

Not as much travelling as book 1, which worked well for the pacing. I loved watching Inara become more of a standalone character in this one. She's still so young, so a lot of her frustrations are with adults trying to protect her and we get that expected push back. Elo is struggling to gain enough followers in order to take down his ex bestie, who betrayed him at the end of book 1. He’s still a reluctant hero who just wants to bake bread, but it was interesting to see how far he’ll go to talk down Arren. And Kissen, I hope she never changes. Gods literally keep saving her life and she just keeps insulting them. Despite everything she was put through and what she did at the end of Godkiller, she still has that snark and distrust for any god.

Perfect mix of action vs political intrigue. Can't wait for book 3!
