Oh boy it hurt to rate this less 5 stars but I'll give my reasons
I'll start with the positives. As always Mische is a beautiful badass. She won't stop fighting for justice and fighting for what she believes her heart is right. I absolutely love that she's a yapper and she's so unapologetic about it.
Asar really is that guy! He is such a gigantic lover boy and would rip the world in half just to have Mische by his side. You know that quote "Barbie has a great day every day but Ken only has a good day if Barbie looks at him" thats literally Asar with Mische.
Their whole relationship is just beautiful. They are so desperately afraid of losing each other that they Defy all odds to get back to one another.
LUCE IS BEST GIRL! I spent the whole book afraid something was going to happen to her. I love that she is so devoted to Asar and Asar to her. But I also love that she's become so devoted to Mische.
I love learning about all the different Gods in this series. Every book brings something new to the surface about these Gods. They're so unbelievably flawed yet people still follow them. I find it intriguing.
Now onto why I couldn't give this book 5*. I feel like it went on way too long. It could easily have had 100 pages shaved off. I kept thinking "this is the end. Okay this has to be the end. This has to be it now." and it just kept going. Don't get me wrong I found the plot enjoyable but it didn't 100% grip me and I feel like some bits were really dragged out. A real shame because I have loved every other book in this series so deeply.
I am excited to see where books 5 and 6 will take us and excited for a new narrator! I will miss Mische and Asar just as I missed Raihn and Oraya.
