beccaslibrary03 's review for:
The Merciless Ones
by Namina Forna
This was okay and think the first was better. I am going to read the final book and see where my thoughts land after that one but currently I would recommend reading the first book and leaving it as a standalone as I don’t feel like with either of these books she leaves it in a way that grips you and makes you want to continue which I feel is pretty important for a series to be able to do and I feel like she ends them in a way where you feel like it’s kinda done and you could just carry on not reading them but that could also be because I’m not the most invested it doesn’t make me itch to pick up the next book
I didn’t love how the whole of the first book is set up telling you all these things and then you come to this and everything is revealed as lies and then we have to learn all new stuff instead because of this then you have the whole male gods storyline and the Jatus which I agree with some other reviews had a focus on how men are great and these really powerful people and Deka can not figure out for the life of her how they are so much stronger then her which just felt a bit silly as it’s all about female empowerment and then we have a whole book on men and how they are stronger then the women and they have these extra powers that prevent Dekas ability’s
