Hannah's second book in the Fallen Gods trilogy had me turning the pages well into the early hours to find out what would happen next.
We follow our main protagonists as they navigate through an ever changing world, split apart by fate and design, each one carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders - in varying forms.
Elogast, the reluctant knight who must face his adversary in the King but also his childhood best friend, turned enemy. Kissen, thought dead, thrown into an impossibly dire situation at the behest of the Gods she's supposed to kill. Then Inara and Skedi, their bond tenuous and fraught, trying to find their place in a world that fears what they could become...
The tale weaves around each of them, every section pulling them along in a complicated story of love and betrayal.
As a second book in a series, it can drag in places as it sets things in motion for the final act, but I didn't find it laborious as other readers had, as Hannah still has a way with story telling that captures my imagination.
Sunbringers conclusion will have you on the edge of your seat, the twists and turns finally coming to a halt as an enemy so consuming and world ending is unleashed - I can't wait to see where Hannah will lead us with the final book next year. Whenever it is - its going to be epic!
