Blurb:
Kissen kills gods for a living, and she enjoys it. That is until she finds a god she cannot kill: Skediceth, god of white lies, who is connected to a little noble girl on the run.
Elogast fought in the god war, and helped purge the city of a thousand shrines before laying down his sword. A mysterious request from the King sends him racing back to the city he destroyed.
On the way he meets a godkiller, a little girl and a littler god, who cannot find out about his quest.
My thoughts:
A knight, godkiller,a noble girl and a god walked into an inn… sounds like the start of a bad joke. But in this case, it's the splendid combination of characters for the captivating story that is Godkiller by Hannah Kaner!
Elogast is a former knight running from his past and all the nightmares and regret that comes with it. Trying desperately to find some peace and solace with his new labor as a baker, soon his past catches up, forcing him to make a choice.
Kissen is a skillful godkiller (a veiga) with a traumatic past that turned her into what she is today…eliminating gods and their shrines for a price.
Inara is a noble girl from the Craier line with the little god of white lies attached to her that she have to keep hidden for her safety.
Each of them with their mission and goal in mind, they venture into a journey that is more dangerous and the stakes are higher than they imagined.
Developed Perfectly character arcs that intertwined along the way to merge into an intriguing combination of new friendships, betrayal, strength, and character growth.
Somehow I fell in love with all the main characters and each one for a different reason - Kissen for being always the solid rock to lean on despite her gruff appearance, Inara for her amazing growth and strength and Elo for his embodiment of a trait that is dearly missed in our time – unconditional loyalty and friendship.
To say that I can't wait to read the next chapter for these characters would be un understatement.
