I had high expectations for this book - I mean, warrior-priestesses?!- and boy did the author deliver!
Rife with lore, betrayal and plot twists, we follow warrior-priestess Hessa as she struggles with her faith in her goddess Eang while also trying to basically save the world and her people. I loved the writing style, it was vivid and beautifully descriptive. I also appreciated the way the action scenes were written, as I could clearly picture the battle scenes in my mind which is a good thing because there's loads of them! I also really really loved how we got to see so much of the different gods, they truly were part of the main story and I loved all the lore and magic surrounding them, as well as not knowing whether you could trust anything coming out of their mouths (looking at you, Ogam...). This story captured me right from the beginning and kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time, up until the epic fight scene near the end. I loved how we slowly got to learn more about the gods and the world along with Hessa, and how she so clearly and honestly struggled with what to believe in.
If this book wasn't already on your TBR I sincerely hope it now will be, it's one of my new favorites for sure!...more

The writing was beautiful though and I was so enthralled with the story. I liked how near the end Tiras and Lark's relationship felt a little more balanced. Also I would highly recommend the audiobook for this one!...more
