The Children of Gods and Fighting Men by Shauna Lawless

5.0

I read the description of this book and instantly knew that it was written for me specifically. It took some getting used to switching between the two main POVs. I typically don’t like multi-POV stories because there’s always one POV I don’t care about and have to slug through. That wasn’t the case here, and I enjoyed both stories a lot. It was interesting to see very similar motivations and driving forces (love of family) behind two very, very different characters. It was pretty slow with mostly political maneuvering, with some action at the end and a bit of action peppered throughout, which is what I enjoy most.
