Summary

THE INSTANT NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

You are not welcome here, godkiller

Kissen’s family were killed by zealots of a fire god. Now, she makes a living killing gods, and enjoys it. That is until she finds a god she cannot kill: Skedi, a god of white lies, has somehow bound himself to a young noble, and they are both on the run from unknown assassins.

Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, they must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favour.

Pursued by demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning – something is rotting at the heart of their world, and only they can be the ones to stop it.

A New Masterwork of Fantasy Has Arrived!

I can’t help thinking I’ve been fortunate enough to read the opening volume of what is going to become the next big thing in fantasy epics. Just wonderful.

Strong characters and a story that weaves together

This story drew me deeper and deeper into the world of Kissen and Enara in a way I didn’t expect. Very enjoyable!

enjoyable

the narrator took a bit of getting used to - she spoke in short staccatto sentences - but I got over that and enjoyed an easy 'read' fantasy with an interesting world

A great story

Very enjoyable, a good start to the series, absolutely no fluff at all. I think maybe there could have actually been a little
More fluff/filler. All journeys seem very short. Other than that no complaints re the story.

Narrator has a strange style which I found a little grating at times but nothing to the detriment of the book.

Great story, brilliantly told

I grew to adore these characters and the warmth with which their stories were told. The world felt unique and the descriptions were vivid and beautiful yet felt grounded. I felt so protective of them all at the end, and the very end itself was satisfyingly delivered. The narration was perfectly paced and spoken engagingly. One of the best books I’ve read (listened to?) this year.

Intertwined stories easy to follow

A nice tale, easy to follow. It’s one of those stories you can listen to while working doing chores etc.

I enjoyed the pace and description from the narrator, it allowed me to paint a picture in my mind. The only slight I have is during the narrator’s performance when dealing with a powerful god her voice didn’t fit well, I wanted to hear power if that makes sense. Just my personal opinion and no offence intended.
