This book….was a ride. I read it in the span of three days (cause work 😩) and I loved it so much. It’s heartbreakingly beautiful.
We are introduced to Hammer, an enslaved warrior, who is on a mission. She doesn’t want to be there but she has no choice. She has no say in her life at all. But during this mission she and another member of the “faceless” fighters uncover and rescue a child, but not just any child. Viridian is a god child, one who will manifest powers from the god that chooses to tie their soul to them.
From this meeting the fates of Hammer and Viridian are sealed and we are lead on a journey of oppression, love, war, grief and betrayal. This was such an emotional experience that it just hurts my heart for the characters in this story.
