Overall I did enjoy it. I like Kissen best, she is a strong woman. I like that it's very well written but I did find it a bit slow going in some parts. I thought that the "romance" part with Kissen and Elo was neither here nor there. I wasn't a fan of the boat part but I tend to dislike boats anyway. I think it wrapped up the story nicely. I also don't like to read battle scenes so that wasn't my favourite. I did enjoy it and I felt it wrapped up the story well.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for giving me the opportunity to read and write a review for this book!

Unfortunately, I think Faithbreaker continued and dug even deeper into the problems that Sunbringer started.
Halfway into book 2 I had issues with the pacing of the book and gave me anxiety, how could everything be wrapped up properly with so much going on with only one book to finish it?
And my heart broke when I saw the excruciatingly slow pace in Faithbreaker for a significant part of the book. Naturally, that led to the final of the book that felt rushed and all over the place with a few loose ends that were left.
In terms of characters, I can say the same thing—you can feel already from somewhere in the middle of book two the chemistry between them deteriorating little by little and in Faithbreaker for me, there was no chemistry left at all. Honestly, I miss the special bond that you could feel between Kissen and Inara and Skedi, then with Elo in the first book was what made me fall in love with this world. Now all that was left from them is felt forced, and their interactions were awkward.
I wanted to read Faithbreaker because I was desperate, hoping that Sunbringer just struggled with the middle book syndrome and everything will be alright in the last book. Alas, I was really heartbroken reading Faithbreaker because as I said, I loved this world, the characters and the distinctive feel the Godkiller gave you, and it pained me to see all that go away like that.

A wonderful conclusion to the trilogy, I loved every moment of it and I can't recommend it enough. I immediately restarted the series because I wasn't ready to leave the world.

I love this series so much and this book wasn't left behind. Such a cool story. I rated it 5 stars because I couldn't put it down for a second.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long and asked for it as soon as I saw it on NetGalley!

This is the conclusion of The Fallen Gods trilogy and we continue with the adventures of Kissen, Elo, Inara, and Skediceth, though this time they are racing to stop the bloody and fiery advance of Hseth and her army of zealots.

Bloody hell this was tense! I had to put it down a couple of times and read something lighter as I hadn’t realised how much I’d invested in all the characters and really didn’t want them to be Martined…

This part of the trilogy really digs into the characters and exposes a lot of what really makes them tick and winds new characters and themes into this emotional web making a great finale to the trilogy.

Not a story to speed through as the tension does just keep ramping up to the finale, with each twist and turn leading you to expect one thing then another, culminating in a fierce battle to decide the worlds fate.

A cracking story of love and power and what people and gods are willing to sacrifice for both, and the ending!

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

"My girl, I would fight the world for you."

Thank you to Harper Collins and NetGalley for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I went into this book very conflicted, having not enjoyed reading Sunbringer, which very much suffered from middle book syndrome. I struggled with the beginning chapter of Faithbreaker, and had to refer constantly back to its predecessor to remind myself of various characters and place names.

I'm delighted to say that Faithbreaker was a much-needed breath of fresh air to the Fallen Gods trilogy. Kaner continues to be gifted with words, and her description of the horrors of battle and intricacies of friendships made and broken on battlefields are to be highly commended.

4.5 stars rounded down, as I'm still extremely salty over Legs.
