I received a free e-arc of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
This was the perfect adventurous, vivid second half to this duology, following on from The Sunbearer Trials.
It's definitely a book you need to read the other first, partly just to get confident with all the names of the dioses and semidioses. Stepping into Celestial Monsters, it picked up from the moment the last book finished and never stopped. Weaving together two perspectives, you get to see new character development as well as enjoying light moments with old favourites.
Expanding the world gave space to tackle some ethical and philosophy questions I really appreciated and I loved joining the journey.
