What We Devour
Ratings3
Average rating3.3
The story of a girl who must tether herself to a violent ruler to save her crumbling world.
Lorena Adler has a secret—she holds the power of the banished gods, the Noble and the Vile, inside her. She has spent her entire life hiding from the world and her past. She’s content to spend her days as an undertaker in a small town, marry her best friend, Julian, and live an unfulfilling life so long as no one uncovers her true nature.
But when the notoriously bloodthirsty and equally Vile crown prince comes to arrest Julian’s father, he immediately recognizes Lorena for what she is. So she makes a deal—a fair trial for her betrothed’s father in exchange for her service to the crown.
The prince is desperate for her help. He’s spent years trying to repair the weakening Door that holds back the Vile…and he’s losing the battle. As Lorena learns more about the Door and the horrifying price it takes to keep it closed, she’ll have to embrace both parts of herself to survive.

What I loved: the magic, plot, ace rep, protagonist, characters
What I struggled with: pacing
Overall a great book. The pacing was slow - too slow - but the MC was so likable that it was only a minor flaw in my opinion.
i had absolutely no idea what was going on in this book, imo the world building was trash & the plot was ??? like i was so confused the ENTIRE time, but it had some redeeming qualities like the magic system & the main character, i also enjoyed a few scenes when it was clear enough for me to understand so 2.75 - very very VERY low 3.
man i wish this book was executed better, like I SEE THE VISION i really do & this concept has major 5 star potential but it just wasn't there.
