A review by saintburns
Ruthless Gods by Emily A. Duncan

4.0

This book was hard to finish even as I enjoyed what I was reading. It has all the elements of things I enjoy, weird magic that deals with blood and saints and heretics, the epic journey, the calling of destiny, and the villain who might be a hero but is mainly still a villain. The thing that sucks about a second book is that as a rule it has to leave things unresolved so that the threads can be picked up in the third. So as this book ends I am left with many questions and concerns that hopefully will be answered in the last book. This book was enjoyable but also a struggle because there was So Much despair and betrayal and weird eyes. It was turned up to 11 in both a good and a bad way. Can’t wait to read the last book in the series but I am unlikely to reread them.
