ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR Theodric, the God of War, has a talent for inciting conflict and bloodshed. Or he did-before his powers were stripped away. Eager to prove himself worthy of redemption, he sets out to instigate a mortal war. Everything is going according to plan until she shows up... Cassia isn't the only one in the mortal world to think the gods and goddesses are a myth. Cast out and orphaned during the war, she has no time for legends. Unfortunately, the religious zealots think she'll make the perfect sacrificial bride. Imagine her surprise when the God of War looms over her with a sword... With Theodric sworn to never accept a bride and Cassia disinterested in saving her country, it should be easy enough to keep their hands to themselves. But fate has other plans.

Y'all this book was so great.
I savored this book. It is full of longing, there is a mystery, and it explores the class dynamics of Herrath.
Nirrim lives on an island full of rulings and tithes. If a rule is broken - a tithe must be paid. When she unexpectedly meets Sid her eyes are opened to the possibility that not everything is how it should be.
I am still not over Rutkoski delivering main characters who I love even among their flaws. Throughout this whole book I adored Sid because I am a predictable queer. And sweet Nirrim!? As much as I am a fan of this romance I also love the investigation into the High Caste magic.
Nothing brought me as joy lately as screaming at my audiobook. I'm in deep. I'd like six books please.
I loved it, loved the characters, loved the way it was written, but wtf the ending 😭😭
“A kind of lie told for someone else's sake, a lie that sits between goodness and wrong, just as midnight is the moment between night and morning.”
This book, the story, the characters were all amazing. I've not read the Winner's trilogy yet but if it's even half as good as this book, I'm looking forward to reading it.
Pros:
- Lost magic.
- Main characters- Nirrim and Sid were awesomeee.
- Nirrim was the innocent but nice one. I liked how she did things even though she was afraid of them.
- Sid was written just like a sarcastic and mysterious male character
