This is my first attempt at an in depth spoiler free review. Feedback is appreciated.
Premise - The Red Gods were exiled from the lands of Rilpor, Listre, and Krike. Nearly a thousand years have passed as the Red god plot their return to the lands of light. Only the various tribes of Mireces continue to worship the gods of blood. Following a cast of characters ranging from a Mireces slave to a Kings Councilor. The story unwinds through love, friendship and betrayal.
Characters - most important in my opinion are characters and while not too many stand out here there are 10 point of view characters. Of those 10 I only enjoyed four of them;
Rillirin - A slave to the King of the Mireces, she grows a lot througout her hardships. Dom - A Caléstar with a dark past. He has visions from the gods.
Durdil - The King of Rilpors bodyguard/councillor. I didnt care for him much at the beginning but he really shines halfway through.
Crys - A lifetime soldier in the Rilporan army. He gets tied up in the politics in the capital and befriends a prince early on.
I felt the rest never got developed and I honestly disliked the Mireces point of views.
The romances felt forced and I think the two major ones would have worked better if they just stayed friends.
Plot - There are a couple of major plot points that really hit the nail on the head (especially 30% through
