pick105/100 I'm happy to say that this was as good, if not better, than the first volume. We learn more about the various gods, their relationships with each other, and how they relate to humanity. I continue to be in awe of Jamie McKelvie's artwork, it's so beautiful and sometimes so brutal. The ending of this was so sad, after everything the MC had been through. I understand why it happened but I didn't want this ending. Another 5 🌟 read

Some of that may be due to uneven pacing and some pretty big jumps forward in time, but it still felt off. That said, I did enjoy seeing Alanna grow ⤵️
pickDidn't love this one as much as the other two I've read from this author but still very much enjoyed 😊
Look at what I found tucked in a closet at an Estate Sale this morning - I don‘t even know if these were ever read. 🤩
