Synopsis: How do you kill a god?

As her father's chosen heir, eighteen-year-old Rasmira has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. But when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged and she fails the test, her father banishes her to the monster-filled wilderness with an impossible quest: to win back her honour, she must kill the oppressive god who claims tribute from the villages each year or die trying.

Review: Holy crap! Let’s talk about this amazing book. It was fast paced and fun. It was easy to follow and easy to melt into. This book had amazing character growth for more than one person and this book spoke volumes about a lot of issues, like discrimination and not taking things at face value. The book is utterly fantastic in every way.

The only issue I had was that I felt that the book was a bit too fast paced for some people. A lot of things happened in this standalone and while it was perfect for me, it might not be for some people.

Verdict: READ THIS BOOK!

Review: I reread this book because a friend requested I do so for my twelve friends twelve months challenge. I don’t have much more to say outside of what I did in my original review. The book is still absolutely fascinating to me, how Tricia was able to weave all of these details to the final boss battle. The book is a marvel, is full of well developed characters and moments, and awesome world building. Still one of my all time faves.

My only issue is still the fast pacing. It’s great if you’re running on a treadmill like I did the first time I read this book, but if you like slower books then you’ll be left in this ones dust.

Verdict: Vikings still get me excited.
