Kissen's family were killed by people trying to appease a fire god, now she kills gods and yearns to avenge herself on the one god who changed her life forever and robbed her of her leg. Skedi is the god of white lies and is bound to Inara who suddenly finds herself without her family, who yearns to loosen the bonds between her and this little god, but fears her future in a country where gods and god worshiping is forbidden. Elogast is a baker, a good baker, but in his past he was a knight, until he wasn't and now he has a mission to help a friend, one that just might change the world. Twisty with relationships that build in the story and characters who have a lot of scars, outside and inside and I immediately reserved the sequel. Oh, wow. This was… bad, really bad. I expected this to be fantasy while in fact this is a young-adult novel that feels like it was written by a teenager. Kissen (I’m sorry but as a German, I’m having a hard time with this name…), our queer, one-legged hero, goes on an adventure with a former knight, childhood friend of the king, a spoilt brat, Inara, from a noble house - a house that was literally burned down, including Inara’s beloved servants, and mother. Inara also has a pest problem, manifesting as a god (of white lies). Among that lies naive romance, attempted-coming-of-age, fantasy-lite and a looooong journey that drags and drags and… You get the gist. The writing is also mediocre at best and, even worse, errors abound: »Kissen wasn’t going to let him stupid that easily.« Thankfully, that was the most aggravating mistake but, still, a disgrace. I’m abandoning this at 70% to later slumber on my Kissen. One star out of five.

I really wanted to like this more than I did, but for some reason neither the world, the story nor the characters really captured my interest. However, it really picked up by the end and pushed me into probable sequel-reading territory. This book has an amazing cast of protagonists with Kissen, Elo, and Inara. All haunted by a past that has nearly broken them, much like their country in the aftermath of a brutal war. I loved their slow-burn relationship and the way that truths about Elo's past and Inara's identity gradually came out. And that final horrible plot twist where Oh, and Kissen's found family from way back -- love them, they're awesome! keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

This is the first book in the series and I liked it. The characters and place are believable. The writing is good. There is enough intrigue in the story to leave me wanting to read the entire series. ( )
