You can find my full review for this as well as other books on my bloghere
Days after finishing this and I am still reeling from the sheer devastation in this book.
Even that word is not strong enough but I will go with it anyway. I am devastated that I am finished with this series and I want more than anything to forget that I read it and then I could go back and read it all for the first time all over again.
The way the author has come along book by book is phenomenal. I mean don’t get me wrong, I loved both previous books but The Burning God is something else entirely. It is as near to perfect as I think I am ever likely to read.
It was so good that there are hardly the words to describe it.
Rin’s development throughout this series has been nothing short of fantastic. She is the most amazing, morally grey anti hero main character and as much as she made me angry a lot of the time I am really, really going to miss her.
This is a finale that leaves no questions unanswered, no loose ends and absolutely no hearts unbroken.
Like previous books it is absolutely jam packed full of gruesome action, graphic violence, war and of course shamanism!
I genuinely feel like there is a void in my life that has never been left by a book before and I just don’t know if any book will ever make me feel the same way again and I really mean that with ever fibre of my being.
I have never in my life been able to say that I have a favourite book but that has ended now. There is no contest, this is the best series of books I have read in my life.
My heart is broken. I love Rin even though we had a very bumpy ride through the books. Her strength and love for her people and her country is astounding. Her power is incredible and I have loved every moment of this journey.
The writing style, the characters, the world, the history, the magic. Perfection.
What more is there to say? If you haven’t read this series, read it. You will not regret it (just don’t forget the bucket for those tears)!
