Godkiller
by Hannah Kaner
Godkiller summary (this is off the top of my head so correct me if I'm wrong):
Our title character is the Godkiller Kissen, whose childhood village attempted to sacrifice her & her family to a rival god via burning alive. Kissen survived due to her father sacrificing his own life to a water god in place of hers, but she lost her leg.
In the present, in a neighboring country where the worshipping of gods is forbidden due to a god war years ago, Kissen works as a godkiller, going around to minor deities and destroying them. She runs into Inara, another POV character, who is a girl bound to Skediceth, a tiny god of white lies. Instead of killing Inara, Kissen protects her and takes her on a journey to figure out how to un-bind her and Skediceth.
Meanwhile, Elogast, a former Knight of the King turned baker, is approached by King Arren to go on one last mission. The king is alive only through a bargain with a god (not a great look for a king who has forbidden gods) and is now dying. As one of Arrens former closest friends, Elogast agrees to travel to the city of the gods (Blenraden) to save the king's life.
This started off a little slower and finished strong. I loved the characters even where the plot was a little weak
