Synopsis:
Kissen’s family were killed by zealots of a fire god. Now, she makes a living killing gods, and enjoys it. That is until she finds a god she cannot kill: Skedi, a god of white lies, has somehow bound himself to a young noble, and they are both on the run from unknown assassins.
Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, they must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favour.
Pursued by demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning – something is rotting at the heart of their world, and only they can be the ones to stop it.

My Review:
I was really trying to get into this one, and even though the pacing was slow, I was still enjoying parts of it. But the multiple POVs just didn’t work for me. With a story this short, jumping between four perspectives felt overwhelming. I kept wishing it had stayed focused on either the little girl or Kiessen, because their voices were the strongest. In the end, the scattered POVs pulled me out of the story, and it just didn’t land the way I hoped.
