Children of Fallen Gods

No war can be fought with clean hands. Not even the ones waged for the right reasons. Not even the ones you win.

Tisaanah bargained away her own freedom to save those she left behind in slavery. Now, bound by her blood pact, she must fight the Orders’ war -- and Max is determined to protect her at all costs.

But when a betrayal tears apart Ara, Max and Tisaanah are pushed into an even bloodier conflict. Tisaanah must gamble with Reshaye’s power to claim an impossible victory. And Max, forced into leadership, must confront everything he hoped to forget: his past, and his own mysterious magic.

All the while, darker forces loom -- far darker, even, than the Orders’ secrets.

As Tisaanah and Max are ensnared in a web of ancient magic and twisted secrets, one question remains: what are they willing to sacrifice for victory? For power? For love? - Goodreads

Characters and Plot

4.25 STARS!!!

This pick up with Tisaanah fighting the war at Ara for the Orders, it was epic, cruel, and I could feel Max and Tisaanah's exhaustion through the screen. I am glad that this book portrays war for what it really is, painful, and brings devastation to everyone. A lot of fantasy books usually portray war as a glorious moment, a victorious moment. But this book spells it out clearly that there is no winning side in war, there is only endless pain and loss.

I love the way that we got more magic exploration in this book. I now have mixed feelings about Reshaye; she has proven to be more complex than her initial impression. Tisaanah and Max's romantic relationship was one of my favorite aspects of this book. They balance each other out so well, push each other to be the better version of themselves, and my favorite part is that their romantic relationship isn't their only character's arc, like a lot of romances.

Aefe's storyline threw me off a bit. I wasn't a huge fan of it, mostly because I don't feel connected to Aefe as a character. She just doens't seem to have a clear purpose for me, and her journey was a bit rushed imo. However, the twist at the end was INSANE, NEVER SEEN IT COMING.

The last 50 pages of this book were wild... remember how I think Nura is fascinating and thing that she is better than she looks, well... :))

Conclusion

I NEED TO READ THE FINAL BOOK, THE CLIFFHANGER AT THE END WAS CRIMINAL. SO EXCITED TO SEE HOW THE STORY ENDS!!!
