Godkiller

I didn't realize that when the blurb on the back said it was for fans of Gideon the Ninth that it meant that Gideon's long-lost cousin was gonna be one of the main characters.

I was a little amused (and salty) when she tried to sacrifice herself. Thankfully it looks like she lived.

Great book, wonderful characters, loved the dynamic between the trio. The sorta-romance didn't feel forced (though a little rushed), Elo wasn't a toxic broody bad boy (just a little dumb in a not-necessarily-bad way), Kissen wasn't some frail whiny petite thing you see way too often in fantasy, and Inara is gonna be a fascinating force of nature in later additions.

I do feel like it could've been a little longer, to flesh out some of the finer details of the worldbuilding. And the ending felt rushed, with the big reveal and final battle sequence all coming and going way, way too fast.

Definitely looking forward to the sequel!
