"An exciting fantasy. Not too long ago, the humans fought a war with the gods. The new king has outlawed all shrines and worship. Three, make that four, individuals are brought together on a pilgrimage to the city where the war was fought. A girl, a Godkiller, a knight turned baker, and the God of white lies. The each need answers. They each have secrets. With the exception of the girl, none really trusts the others.
Great world building. Great character building. An ending that leaves you wanting the next book, without a dreaded cliffhanger.
Recommended for readers who enjoy books about people who find their tribes in the most unexpected people."

"I live for an unapologetic fmc, Kissen is strong and resilient and I love how Inara starts to also take on these traits. For everything they are not, high born versus beggar turned veiga, they are one in the same, suddenly orphans trying to find safe footing in a world that would see them sacrificed for a little bit of power. I really enjoyed watching the baker-knight Elo get closer to Kissen as much as I loved Skedi and her begin to bond. This definitely ends on a cliffhanger so be prepared if those are not your cup of tea. Gread read!
Albeit now that I think more on it, a bit slow which is why it took me a bit to get through but overall, very good premise with interesting characters and a nice plot twists. "

"I think I may have just found my new favorite book. I loved this story about a girl who survived being a sacrifice to a god that goes on to grow up to be a Godkiller. She is badass despite her handicap and ends up helping a young girl, and the god that is somehow physically connected to her, after her life is thrown into tragedy. "

"Maybe the writing is a bit clunky at times but the world the author has created was enough for me to overcome this. The overarching plot was also done well. The characters weren’t the most interesting but charming enough."

"It has a good plot and ideas and characters but it was so slow. I skimmed so many parts because it was so slow and i was always very aware of the author. Otherwise it was good."

"Loved this book so much. I love Kissen's character growth and her interactions with Inara. I can't wait for the sequel to come out! My only complaint is that the book felt a bit rushed. If it were a little longer, I feel like the characters and world could have been fleshed out a little more. "

"I thought the world building was pretty effective. I enjoyed the main character. However, I didn’t really buy the relationship between the MC and Inara. I didn’t feel they had enough time and experience to have any affinity with each other. The ending was a cliff hanger but the book says it’s the first in a trilogy. Overall, I enjoyed it. "
