REVIEW
When I had started this series with the Gods below, the audiobook cast for this when I listened to it was awesome. It really included me in this world. It is a world full of contradictions, unfairness and hypocrisy. If in which a world exists where you are on two sides of the opposite spectrum; what do you do? What do you when that world is people competing for a better life? Or to advance further in life itself? There are so many questions the series raises over all the time.
The history of the world has always been in question, let that be no doubt about this. Whether its book one, or this one, or even three, I suspect that for you as a reader, you’ll always find ways to question what the real truth is. Rasha’s character arc emulates that so well. If it’s one thing Andrea is really good at, she’s fantastic in taking you among a journey where if characters face more obstacles, they must face uncomfortable truths. And she makes them admit that not all the choices they make in life are always the best decisions.
And when you have two sisters that loved each other; being on the opposite side, then they say civil war is always terrible. Because you are ripping one part of yourself out. And for what? Power? Love? Ambition? All to overthrow a tyrannical God? Or is there something more, something deeper that is out there?
I think book 2 really satisfied me. I hope it does for you as well.
