My Review

No spoilers for the first two books (Godkiller and Sunbringer) ahead, but — WHAT an epic, heartbreaking conclusion to a truly excellently written fantasy trilogy. I’m so glad I read it. Hannah Kaner has written us the perfect blend of modern and classic fantasy — a classic, nostalgic, epic storytelling style with a modern approach to queerness, disability, and other social issues.

This third book really delivered in a big way. It tied the first two books together with a high-stakes, exciting (and heartbreaking) ending. All of the POVs are engaging and fun to read. We got significant character growth, even from at least one character I didn’t expect it from. And the relationships between the characters — Kissen and Elo, Elo and Arren, Inara and Lessa, Kissen and Lessa, and even Kissen and Skedi — were so satisfying.

If you’re looking for a fantasy trilogy that feels somehow nostalgic and also fresh, this is your sign to read this one!
