Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of this book!

I enjoyed this not quite as much as the first but still liked it overall. My own complaint was the main characters being separated for most of the book but it was still a great read!

What a great follow up story! Beautiful writing with a cast of diverse characters. Great rep of disabled and diverse characters and a truly original story.

I did not have time to read this book before the publish date but now that I have I gave it 4 stars.

I really enjoyed Godkiller so was disappointed that this one didn't do it for me.

The author did what so many authors do in the second book of a series: split the party. This is unfortunate, because what I liked so much about the first book was the relationships that developed between the main characters. Why throw all that away and split the storyline and not reap the rewards of the emotional bonds that you created with your characters in the previous book? In addition, at least one more POV was added and these POVs are not from likable characters.

I just couldn't hook in to the story.

This one although still good was not as good as book one. I felt that it had that middle book syndrome that a lot of books have. I still enjoyed it and will read any follow ups but this one could have been better.

I went into this book super stressed after the ending of Godkiller because I couldn’t fathom what could possibly happen next. I love all the characters so much so any of them being potentially dead/hurt had me rushing to read this book. I had tons of questions/theories especially about Inara which we got answered in this book and the plot twists oh my god. We learn so much more in this book about Elogast with his pov’s, the gods and Inara and although Kissen is separate for most of the book watching her navigate getting back to her friends I enjoyed her storyline also. The ending though? I can’t wait to see how this will all play out in the finale. I’m so stoked but can’t believe its so far away!
Thank you to Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks so very much to Netgalley and the publisher for kindly providing me this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. I do reviews on my main social media platforms and will be providing my full review there as I get through my TBR blacklist. Adding star rating as placeholder. Thanks again!

This one was a bit slower for me to get into than Godkiller. I still very much enjoyed the book! Overall I give this a 3.9/5.

After feeling mediocre about Godkiller, I was hoping this would be more interesting and dive more into the story, but I basically felt the same for this book as I felt for the first one. The premise is incredibly interesting but the writing falls flat and all of the characters just feel the same. I needed more out of this one, but I didn't get that.

I was in love with the first book, as the sequel, it seemed much slower and had a hard time holding my attention throughout the book. Knowing there’s a third one, I can see how this was building up for a fantastic third act! I am still invested in the world and what will happen next!

This was a pretty good sequel. I appreciated Kissen’s character development in this one but was annoyed but the extended period of time the characters spent separated. One of my biggest grievances with the second book in a series.

The book in the begining was slightly slow paced but overall I enjoyed this book! I was happy to read this book and the romance was interesting. I likd Godkiller a little bit more but I was happy to continue the book series.

I went and read the first book after reading a little bit of this book and I suggest doing that. It took a bit to get into this book but once I did I was hooked. I’m really glad I found these books and will be a re-read later on!

I was eagerly awaiting this book and then life got in the way and I didn’t get a chance to read it until months later! But sadly I had a hard time getting into this one - it felt a lot slower but that could just be middle book set up that happens a lot of times. By the end I was way more intrigued and I will be recommending still and continuing!

I think this book suffers from "middle book" syndrome. The entire plot felt like a stop-gap to a larger arc rather than a satisfying sort in and of itself. I do really enjoying the world building though and find the pantheon of gods we get to further explore fascinating and fun!

This was such a gripping read! The stakes are high and there's no right answer or easy way out. I really enjoy stories like that, so this (and Godkiller) are excellent for me!

I took one star off because I found myself increasingly annoyed with every single character except Skediceth. Skedi is the best and can do no wrong, lol! It felt like all the human characters were modeled after the same personality: obstinate to the point of making dumb choices because of their pride and stubbornness. I really wanted more variety in personalities and was getting tired of people refusing to listen to each other because *reasons.*

But the story itself was so compelling and complicated (in a good way). And I loved seeing more from Skedi's perspective!

I desperately need to know what happens next and can't wait for the conclusion to this trilogy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC.

This was a fine sequel. It might have been me, but it took a very long time for me to get into it. I honestly feel like there's not much to say. I'll give it a reread someday because I did love the first one.

This was an excellent continuation of the series, and I'm absolutely looking forward to the next book.

Questions from book one are answered, but several more arise and I cannot wait to read more from this author and in this world


Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins for the ARC.

I did not think that Sunbringer could be more shocking than Godkiller, but I'm glad I was wrong. A strong sequel! Picks up right where Godkiller ended and it did not disappoint.
