Week 36 Review: Ruthless Gods

From Goodreads:
Darkness never works alone...

Nadya doesn't trust her magic anymore. Serefin is fighting off a voice in his head that doesn't belong to him. Malachiasz is at war with who--and what--he's become.

As their group is continually torn apart, the girl, the prince, and the monster find their fates irrevocably intertwined. They're pieces on a board, being orchestrated by someone… or something. The voices that Serefin hears in the darkness, the ones that Nadya believes are her gods, the ones that Malachiasz is desperate to meet—those voices want a stake in the world, and they refuse to stay quiet any longer.

My Review:
Oh, man, this book was just fantastic! It was chaos in book form, there's so much in the air and it was sometimes hard to understand what was going on, there were a lot of cryptic remarks. Some of them made sense, but some haven't played out, or played out fully yet.

The beginning was a bit slow, compared to the first book. All the characters are still dealing with the aftershocks of that ending, which to be fair, was just an absolute nightmare, basically. But we start to get clues to the mysteries, and the characters start making moves and it was so great!

I kinda read this book with my hands over my eyes, peaking out. Because the atmosphere in this book is so creepy, and combined with these characters who I wanted to live and thrive-some of them *cough cough Malachiasz cough cough* kept making poor decisions.

But that ending, though! I mean, it's an even more intense thrill ride then Wicked Saints was, if you can believe it. And it's another game changer in the world, and I just can't wait to see how they're going to put everything back to rights after what happened!

Loved this book so much, and I can't wait to see how it all ends!
