Ch 9 (view spoiler)[ This is so good so far! I think it's so cool how Nadya can talk to the gods and use their powers. I wonder what the Tranavian king is up to? Maybe he'll have his son marry a vulture? They're super creepy. I want to know all about Malachiasz, he's a mystery. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

ch 17 (view spoiler)[ I've been thinking Malachiasz is royalty and now Serefin says he has a cousin he hasn't seen in a long time so I'm pretty sure that's Malachiasz. The king is definitely being controlled by the vultures. (hide spoiler)]
ch 27 (view spoiler)[ Okay this is getting good! The gods commanding Nadya aren't what they seem and she has the power. Malachiasz is Serefin's cousin and the black vulture king. I love Malachiasz and Nadya together! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ wow Malachiasz is just going to leave like that? I know he loves Nadya, but he's too deluded into thinking that him being a god is the only way to save the countries and now he's even more of a monster. I wonder what changes we'll see in Nadya and Serefin with their powers and now that the king is dead. (hide spoiler)] I am so excited to read the second book! I'm going to start as soon as I can

[Aly]

ch 10 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad we're getting Malachiasz's point of view. Each of them is changed and weird things are going on. Who exactly is talking to Serefin and what about Nadya's god powers? So many questions. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

I'm so excited to start the next book! About to type up all my comments for the first one right now :)

[Alaina]

25%: (view spoiler)[omg I still love Nadya!1 I'm so happy about that and I totally feel for Serefin right now. I honestly can't really remember what's up with his dad but I'm sure that it will come back while reading this! (hide spoiler)]
48%: (view spoiler)[there's something fishy about this guy.. please don't kiss him Nadya! (hide spoiler)]

22%: (view spoiler)[so far so good, a little slow for me but maybe that's because I'm getting easily distracted by work? I just want these two to look at one another and kiss. THAT IS ALL. (hide spoiler)]

interlude iiii (view spoiler)[ Suddenly Malachiasz is back to himself and doesn't remember all the bad things he did since he became a part god? I'm glad we're learning more about Serefin and what's up with him. Interesting that the princess knows all about the old gods that were ousted... (hide spoiler)]

lmao I keep thinking he's a prince too xD

[Alaina]

34%: (view spoiler)[Pelageya is kind of like Rafiki - right? Or is that just me thinking that way? ALSO I HOPE IT IS SEREFIN! Baby come back!. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE MY GUESS WAS WRONG AGAIN! WHY DOES THIS BOOK TORTURE ME ?!?!?!

[Aly]

Oh no!! LOL I'm dying

[Aly]

55% (chapter 24) YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! (view spoiler)[ I knew it! Kacper and Serefin, what!! I think they're super cute together (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

45%: (view spoiler)[Kostya is acting like a LITTLE BITCH! He needs a swift kick to the nutsack asap. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

47%: (view spoiler)[so Nadya is basically a bad ass who hasn't even unleashed her true purpose/powers yet? I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN - somebody wake the bitch up. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

lmaooo did he succeed? I'm dying.

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "47%: [spoilers removed]"

OKAY, I will admit it was cute, adorable and nice BUT (view spoiler)[he only asked him about his "feelings" for Zaneta. Therefore, I still believe in my ship. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ha alright, you keep your ship :)

[Alaina]

64%: (view spoiler)[Noooooooooooo! Ugh, why did he have to die? People should fear her. Revenge sweetheart. Go forth and have it! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

100%: (view spoiler)[the ending left me 😱😱😱😩😩😱😱😱💀💀😱😱😱😱 hot damn. HE IS ALIVE. also ugh so many questions. What was it before: the boy, the girl, the prince, the cleric and the vulture? Wait was that one of the options?? Didn’t think mal was the boy they were referring to.

Since he “died” does that mean he’s not a vulture anymore? What’s gonna happen to serefin now? Or even nadya since she lost her beloved goddess? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!! (hide spoiler)]

Ps might edit this in the morning. So tired. Might’ve misspelled things 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Aly]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ No Kostya!! Why did he have to die? He cared about Nadya so much and survived those horrors only to be killed. Stop playing with my heart (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Wow, I was heartbroken when Malachiasz died, I'm so happy he's back and hopefully less evil? What god is speaking to him? The one that wants to eat the sun and end the world? Oh geez (hide spoiler)] I can't believe this doesn't come out for 4 MONTHS and then I still have to wait a year for the 3rd book?
