Godkiller

Godkiller is a breath of fresh air in the fantasy genre, offering a unique storytelling world and an intricately designed magic system that feels entirely its own. With political intrigue woven into its core, it delivers an exciting mix of enemies to friends to hesitant lovers, murder, betrayal, and found family, all told through multiple points of view that make the story feel dynamic and full. The character arcs are complex, and the plot is layered with depth, keeping you invested from the start. However, I can see why some readers DNF’d this book. Kaner does an excellent job of capturing boredom and mundanity, but placing a slow, mundane chapter directly after a vicious, action-packed scene creates an abrupt change in pace that can be jarring. It almost disrupts the flow of the book. Despite that, it’s still a refreshing and well-crafted novel, though the one thing missing is open-door smut, which would’ve given it that extra edge for romance readers.
