“People make gods, and, for better or worse, gods make people. We show each other for what we truly are. 
Yearning beings, desperate for love, power, safety"

When Godkiller by Hannah Kaner arrived in the post I squealed at the beautiful cover. I mean let us take a minute to fangirl over this cover because it's divine. 

Anyway. 

What I didn't expect was the inside to be as beautiful. 

WHAT A GORGEOUS STORY THIS IS. We have four points of view: Kissen a god killer (who I'd say is the most focal character), Inara a noble, skedi the god of white lies (who seems to be bound to Inara some how), and Elogast an ex knight turned baker (can we take a min to swoon please). This band of characters somehow connect and join together as they enter an old land which was destroyed in the war which is filled with gods you don't want to mess with. Each of them have a reason to be there. Each of them are unsure of the other. Magic, demon fighting, general fighting/ banter and feelings ensue. 

Although this book is short for a fantasy read, it's definitely mighty. You get a real feel for the characters and the world as they adventure. You fall in love with them, rage at them, cry with them and cheer them on. I cannot wait for the next book in the series (really - I'm not sure how I'm going to wait. Harpervoyager who do I need to make offerings/sacrifices to for the next book asap?!) THAT ENDING MAN. I need answers. 

If you're looking for a new fantasy which is just as rich as the heavy tomes as the epic fantasy books you know and love but a hella a lot easier to hold and enjoy 

-then you're looking at your next read.
