Book Synopsis:
You are not welcome here, godkiller
Kissen’s family were killed by zealots of a fire god. Now, she makes a living killing gods, and enjoys it. That is until she finds a god she cannot kill: Skedi, a god of white lies, has somehow bound himself to a young noble, and they are both on the run from unknown assassins.
Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, they must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favour.
Pursued by demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning – something is rotting at the heart of their world, and only they can be the ones to stop it.
My Review:
Godkiller is an incredibly gripping, exciting and absorbing read that I’d rate as one of the best fantasy books I’ve ever read.
The story is told from the point of view of 4 main characters Kissen a god hunter, Elo an ex knight, Skedi a small god and Inara a young noble girl. These characters are very different to each other and all of them bring different things to their mission. It was great watching them gradually grow closer while learning to trust and care for each other. They all start off wanting different things from their adventure but as they travel toward their destination, secrets are revealed and their priorities start to change. Kissen was my favourite character. I loved how strong and determined she was but also how she developed a softer side toward the group as the story continues. The relationship between the group was really heartwarming and it was great to see how much it had changed by the end.
I was quickly drawn into the story and into the character’s world. There was always something happening to keep me reading and I soon found it very hard to put the book down. The mission the characters find themselves on was very intriguing and I enjoyed going on the journey with the characters, watching everything slowly unfold. There were lots of twists that kept me guessing and ensured the story was very exciting indeed. I wasn’t able to work out which way the story was going which I always love and the many revelations toward the end took me completely by surprise!
The ending was absolutely brilliant and I think I read the last 80 pages completely glued to the book, snapping at anyone who dared to interrupt me. The book does end on a huge cliff hanger and I’ve found myself thinking about the book constantly since I finished. I can’t wait for book 2 to come out so I can find out what happens next and spend some more time with characters that I’ve grown really fond of.
