Unfortunately this series just hasn't been for me, but I think it's still a strong fantasy series. The characters all have unique motivations, and I did want to find out what happened to them, especially Kissen. Kissen in general and her very strong Geralt of Rivia vibes were really what pulled me to the series. Unfortunately the pacing of this series is just a bit too slow.

This one took me a bit to get through (my own fault, I haven't been in a fantasy mood)! I love the length of these books they never feel too long. Overall this was a wonderful conclusion to the series! I loved the way you're thrown right back into the action with the books, and even though it's been a while since I read book 2, it didn't take me long to get my footing in the world again. Watching everyone try to work together even when they had opposite interests was so fun to see. Kaner is an absolutely excellent author with a fantastic first series, I can't wait to read what she does next.

I enjoyed this, and found it to be a good conclusion to the series. The ending especially was very strong, emotional, and satisfying.

The bits about war scenes were not as interesting to me, but I did like the exploration of different relationships here. The strongest in my opinion were between Skedi and Inara, who both are my favorite characters of this series. Skedi in particular showed so much character growth since book 1, and he is so loved.

I was way too confused to read this book so I DNF but I know if I read all 3 at once it'd probably be a much better experience so I am still giving it 3 stars.

Faithbreaker is an epic, gut-punch of a conclusion to Hannah Kaner’s Fallen Gods Trilogy. Where Godkiller introduced us to Kissen, Inara, Elo, and the little god Skedi, and Sunbringer raised the stakes with rebellion and betrayal, this final book brings it all crashing into war. The fire god Hseth and her unstoppable army sweep south, and every character we’ve followed is forced to decide what they’re willing to sacrifice.

I’ve said before that Kaner’s strength lies in her worldbuilding, and Faithbreaker proves it again. The atmosphere is vivid, the gods feel dangerous and otherworldly, and the world of Middren never loses its depth, even in the chaos of battle. While the multiple POVs sometimes slowed the pacing for me, the second half of the novel pulled me right back in with high-stakes strategy, raw emotion, and powerful battle scenes.

What kept me anchored, though, were the characters. Kissen has always been prickly, but here she shows hard-won growth. Elo’s uneasy alliance with Arren was both painful and fascinating. Inara’s arc continues to explore questions of faith and identity. And of course—Skedi. That little chaotic god remains my favorite thread through the entire series.

Overall, Faithbreaker is a worthy finale, one that delivers on the promises of the first book while leaving me eager to see what Hannah Kaner creates next. It’s a story about faith, betrayal, loyalty, and found family, wrapped in the heart of an unforgettable fantasy trilogy.

I thoroughly enjoyed Faithbreaker, the epic conclusion to the Fallen Gods trilogy. This installment masterfully weaves together love, sacrifice, loyalty, and betrayal, delivering a powerful narrative that kept me captivated from start to finish.

The character development in this book is exceptional. The dynamics between Elo and Arren are particularly compelling, filled with heartbreak and the complexities of their shared history. Additionally, the evolving relationship between Kissen and Skediceth adds depth and nuance to the story.

Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner

This is the third book in the Fallen Gods trilogy and it wrapped up nicely! It was everything you want from a final book of a trilogy. It had action, tied up storylines and a lot of heart. If you liked the other two books this one was a natural end to that story.

Kaner did such a good job world building and making this characters feel so real you were in the action along with all the emotions in this book.

I listened to this one on audio as well and the narrator was prefect. It was easy to listen to and get lost in.

This book gave closure to the series. It has both loss and action and kept me invested from the beginning of the book. If you enjoyed the first two book this will not disappoint. Don't want to give too much away but give this series a try. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read.

Nice conclusion for Fallen Gods series. I enjoyed the book, but not as much as I did the first one. I loved the first one.

To story ends well, all makes sense and it was very interesting. Though overall I found it lacking. I wanted more of Gods and lore, while it had some it was a bit disappointing.

Skedi remains my favourite character. He started as small forgotten god and grow to become more knowed and bigger god. I am sad he died and in my imaginative in future he comes back.

Other characters I enjoyed less, Elo the least. I really didn't like where his character went and his love for Arren came out of nowhere for me. I liked that both previous books were light on romance, and this one seemed like it added bunch of it just to follow current trends of heavy romance in books.
To me most of what Elo and Kissen taught of was about their love interests to Arren and Inara's mother. I didn't like that.

Overall, I enjoyed these series. Very interesting world and I always enjoy that.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, the Author, and Publisher for this E-ARC! What a great sequel to the first book. For sure a must read!

I love this series! I had already owned the previous books and will buying this one for future rereads!

Overall, I found this book harder to get into, and the reading took more energy out of me than normal. I had started this in May and then I set it down for over a month...Even when I was finally "into it", it still took longer for me to finish. I read books in three days. This one took me 4 days of straight reading, plus whatever I had done before the pause. Only long books like Game of Thrones take that long for me. What that means to me is that the actual written word was far harder to consume. This also affects my ability to enjoy the book, as it's considered an effort instead of a pastime.

It wasn't until I finished reading the book that I realized why I was having such a hard time. (I loved book one, but then book two became more of a challenge, and book three was truly difficult.) It's because there were too many story arcs, too many points of view, too many characters. When I finally made it to the end, I realized we didn't need to care about Arren at all. We didn't need Elo's view point at all either. Sure, he aided the storyline, but he was only central in connecting the proper main characters to Arren. Those proper characters are Kissen, Ina, and Skediceth. This was their story - not Elo's. Elo was a side character we were forced to care about - as was Arren.

This book was written as though it were trying to be Game of Thrones, but it only served to complicate the plot and muddy the waters. I needed more character growth and less "knives in the back." Yes, the war scenes were important, but Kissen and Ina saw a fair portion of them first hand. We should have experienced everything through their lens. It would have made Legs and Skedi's sacrifices greater.

Still, I do give the book four stars. The bardic songs were well done, the gods were represented wonderfully, and the resolution made perfect sense.

This is the third and final book in the Fallen Gods trilogy, and it was solid. This book picks up weeks after we left the cast in book two. This series has a very large cast of characters that we are following and by this point as a reader I had grown quite attached to them. We saw growth in the main character, Kissen, the most and I think that her character arc was wonderfully done. To see her come around and grow to love a God in the end, and open herself up to her found family made my heart swell. Without spoiling the book, I thought that the relationship between Elo and Arren was handled with care and felt like an organic forgiveness between them. Inara and Skedi, oh my loves, they way that the bond between these two has grown. In this book you truly get to see that true love, soul mates, whatever you would like to call it, is not always romantic. The love between Inara and Skedi was my favorite in the book, and I would read an entire spin off with just them.

My only complaint with this book was the ending and the Epilogue. The ending of the book felt rushed once the “solution” to win the war was introduced. Then the Epilogue felt off in the pacing, we went from winning the war to all of the characters saying goodbye and going their separate ways. I don’t feel like I got the proper closure to say goodbye to these characters myself. I am however excited to see what Hannah Kaner writes next, now that she is finished with this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Voyager for the Arc.

3.5 stars!!!

Even though this was my least favorite book in this trilogy, it was still a super satisifying conclusion! I did enjoy seeing all the set up from the previous books come to a head in this, and the looming war that was teased throughout was engaging. My biggest issue with this book is that there is one character in peticular that I HATED (not naming names, but they know who they are...) and this character's arc did not do it for me. It felt like the author wanted to redeem this character but I would've never been able to forgive them. Otherwise, I was sad to see the end of the character's stories and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author!

I think this book is my favorite installment of the trilogy. The trilogy has ended in an epic battle of Gods, beliefs, turmoil, and power. As with the whole trilogy, there is very rich world building and multiple character POVs that give you a glimpse at each character’s journey and contribution to the overall story. The insight that Hannah provides is seamless and doesn’t distract the reader from the story. The writing brings the feelings through in each POV.
I love Skedi so much. I love seeing his character growth and bond with Inara throughout the trilogy.
Thank you NetGalley for the advance electronic copy of this conclusion to the Fallen Gods trilogy. Sorry it took me so long to get to it. All opinions are my own.

Hannah Kaner sticks the ending with Faithbreaker, providing a solid ending to a trilogy that began with such an explosive journey. Although certain elements felt underdeveloped when introduced in this final book, ultimately the story of Middren's clash between gods and humans came to a conclusion that felt earned after all of the strife and conflicts that led up to it. All of our main characters grappled with faith, love, trust, and the times those things were betrayed or leveraged against them; story lines laid in the first book wove into vibrant and unexpected tapestries thanks to all of the elements Kaner expertly worked in throughout the trilogy. She is absolutely a must-read author for me!

I really loved this whole series, and have since purchased special edition’s of all of them from Waterstones.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5 stars)
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book, but here goes...
Faithbreaker is the third and final instalment in the Fallen Gods trilogy, a series I eagerly picked up because of the praise from my friends. With such high anticipation and excitement, I couldn't wait to dive in and experience the buzz for myself.

Book one started slow for me, but I stuck with it, and I'm glad I did because the ending was on point. It gave me just enough to keep going.

Book two? I loved it. The pacing was excellent, the characters felt more fleshed out, and the story hit its stride. So naturally, when I saw Faithbreaker pop up on NetGalley, I was thrilled and didn't hesitate to request an early copy.

Unfortunately, book three didn't quite live up to my expectations. The pacing felt uneven, and I found myself putting it down more often than picking it up. Somewhere along the way, I lost that emotional connection to the story and characters; I didn't care as much as I wanted to. That said, I did finish the book, and I'm glad I saw the trilogy through to the end. It wasn't a terrible read by any means; it just didn't give me the payoff I was hoping for after such a strong second book.

While this series ultimately wasn't quite for me, it has such a passionate fanbase. I understand why so many readers have fallen in love with it, and I know plenty of readers will find so much to enjoy here. At the very least, I'm happy I can now join in on those book chats with friends who've adored the journey.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Harper Voyager for supplying me with an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I truly love this series, and I feel like the ending was just perfect. It truly perfectly tied up so many of the themes from all 3 books.
And yet, I struggled to get through the book this time. I think a slightly stronger editing hand could have helped the book flow a bit better and made this a masterpiece. I am especially disappointed in the death of Legs. It felt unnecessary and was used mostly for shock value.

Thank you for this ARC Harper Voyager and Hannah Kaner. I have been following along with Skedi, Inara, Elo, Arren and Kissen since the beginning. I quickly fell into the world that Hannah created and didn't want to leave.
While I am glad to have finished their journey, this book left a bit to be desired. I am not a fan of action or military type books and this one definitely felt strategic and a bit war-like, which I won't argue, aligns with the war occurring in the book.

I felt a bit confused at all of the territories/countries fighting and was struggling to figure out who was who. This could be in part of the span between the time I read Godkiller and Sunbringer and now Faithbreaker.
I would recommend this book, but if this was the first of the series, I likely wouldn't have read the other books.
