This book was phenomenal. I went into it basically blind and had no idea what to expect and no idea what it was even really about. I was a big big fan of Hannah Kaner's debut trilogy, Godkiller, so this was an instant read as soon as I saw that it was coming out. This book takes the darkest moments of `Fallen Gods` and amps it up to 11. The heartbreak and betrayal felt in this cannot be understated. Tilde is a protagonist that you are not intended to like and that makes her one of my favorites. She is on a warpath and the only thing that is going to appease her is the burning of anyone that has wronged her. I appreciate that it maintains a low magic feel. There undoubtedly is magic but it isn't something that is used without much consequence. The heartbreak experienced throughout this book, from page 1 to the very end, will stick with me undoubtedly for years to come. If this is book 1, I cannot wait to see where the rest of this trilogy goes.
If you like sapphic dark fantasy with a protagonist that makes decisions that you may not always be able to support, I cannot recommend this enough.
I would like to thank Netgalley for the opportunity to read this!
