Book Review: Ruthless Gods, (Something Dark and Holy #2) by Emily A. Duncan

Ruthless Gods by Emily A. Duncan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ruthless Gods....the second book of Something Dark and Holy....can be described by two words: HOLY and SHIT. Actually, more than two words. How about HOLY SHIT BALLS AND C*CK this book right here...hit me with all the feels. From finding out that Kostya's still alive, to Kacper and Serefin getting together (and I clapped when I read it) this book took me places I'd never thought I'd go, but holy hell. I loved this book so much that when the announcement of the last and final book came out, I HAD to finish this book.

This book had some twists and turns that shocked me. One, was that The Black Vulture killed a god. No, not just a god. He killed a Death Goddess, folxs. A DEATH GODDESS. My mouth dropped he did that. And when Kacper and Serefin got together? I was happy, though shocked at the same time. I didn't even pick up on it, the Kacper/Serefin thing, but when Kacper just walked up and just straight up kissed him, telling him his feelings for him, of course I was happy for them! They deserve all the love (all these characters, actually) and the blood pool thing the Nadya went though in order to choose who she wanted to be, and choose her goddess before her goddess was killed.

But thing that shocked me the most was the reveal that Serefin and Malachiasz were brothers-well half brothers, actually. That part shocked me the most, because I wouldn't think that they were borthers, but it turns out they are. I also like the new character, Katya, the tsarevna (her official title is Tsarevna Yekaterina Vodyanova) and the Vulture Hunter. I loved her the moment she appeared (but I didn't like what she did to Serefin because holy hell WHY DID SHE DO THAT??? BUT WHY???)

(I would like to note that there were some instances when I stopped reading it because my brain wouldn't let me finish it up till now, and thank god I finished it, even though I'm sad that book two is done)

Also, my ship ALMOST got together. ALMOST. It would've been nice if they got together, really nice-they almost did right next to the blood pool before he became something else (aka the God Killer that killed Marzenya and now what is he I don't know) but when the next book come out I can't wait to read it and see what happens next.

Book Review: Trollslayer: The 20th Anniversary by William King

Trollslayer: 20th Anniversary Edition by William King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

(*got this from NetGalley via my kindle)

This is my second time reading anything by Mr. William King. I've never read the beginning of the Felix and Gotrek books, and I'm so glad that I did, and also listen to the audio drama, which I loved so much (first time listening to that, honestly). So this book of the 20th Anniversary Edition has seven stories, each one more action filled than the next one. The stories are:

Geheimnisnacht
Wolf Riders
The Dark Beneath the World
The Mark of Slaanesh
Blood and Darkness
The Mutant Master
Ulric's Children

It's almost hard to pick which one I liked, because I loved every single one of them. My favorites are Geheimnisnacht, Ulric's Children, Wolf Riders, and Blood and Darkness. These stories told the tale of how Gotrek and Felix faced the most dangerous and brutal foes, have some touching moments here and there, and also Felix finding a little love at the same time (before she died. In which I raged very damned hard). I want to read more of this book series and the rest of the Warhammer series so I can escape to the world when I can and enjoy it.
