“Why does
it matter what happens to me?” said Elo.
“Because we
could be the same, you and I,” she said after a moment. “What happened to us
does not define us, what we do next is what matters.”
After a
brutal war between gods and people, worship of gods is forbidden in the kingdom
of Middren. Kissen makes a living as a godkiller, but when she meets a god that
has bonded with a young girl, she promises not to kill him. They set out to the
ruined city of Blenraden to ask for help from the last wild gods haunting the
place. On the way, they meet a former knight on a mission to save the king.
Godkiller is the first book in Hannah Kaner’s adult fantasy trilogy Fallen Gods. This was a fast-paced and exciting read. Although the plot was rather simple, there were nice twists along the way to keep my interest up. I also liked all four point-of-view characters, and there wasn’t single one whose chapters I wanted to skip. Despite them all being moody and grumpy, it was easy to learn to like them and to root for them. I also liked the disabled and queer representation in this book.
