The Godbreaker by Mike Brooks
5.0
A fantastic end to a fantastic series.
The way he made tremendous effort in writing a story not about conflicts, but rather a story about very different cultures and people learning to understand each through languages, love, bloodshed and so much more. I love the characters so much and the ending suggests that more books could possibly be happening, which brings me joy because I'd love to learn more about everyone again.
Saana and Tila managed to be stars of the series again, and I must say while I LOVE Tila, I do wish Saana had a bit more to do in this book. Zhanna was amazing in this book, and I love that she had tremendous growth this book. I hope that if there is a second series, we can see her story with Yarmina (who I adore btw).
Daimon continued to show that men in fantasy can be good people. I loved him, Darel, Miran, Laz and honestly everyone. There's no character I dislike. But his story in particular had me in tears. Such a fantastic character arc.
Jeya and Bulang's story wasn't has engaging as usual, for me at least. There was so much going on with the others and they were just having their own little love story and it felt disconnected from the main storyline. And maybe if there is a second series it's a great set up, but for now it feels out of the main story.
But the use of language and gender remains top notch. I love the way it feels real and lived in, and that there was so much effort put into making it feel alive.
I can't wait to see what Mike Brooks writes now, because he's gonna be an instant buy from me if it's ANYTHING like this.
