5 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What sort of woman offered a dagger to the God of Death and encouraged him to stab her with it?

“Go on,” she said.

This woman. Damn this woman.

What a splendid sequel! I could not put this book down since I started it. The plot in A Twist of the Blade takes a darker turn and I could not be more thrilled—although I am dreading for what's coming after that nerve-wrecking cliffhanger. This book crackles with magic and action.

Vengeful Gods
Warring Kingdoms
Divine Magic
Political Schemes
Shocking revelations

And a doomed love story...

They're all pawns in a dangerous game played by cruel gods and corrupt rulers.

Nothing so bright and powerful as you simply fades away…

Casia's arc was fantastic and I enjoyed seeing her growth from the person who rather kept to the shadows to someone that finally embraced who she is.

The found family dynamic continues to shine through this book and reinforces the powerful bond between Casia and her friends.

The romance between Casia and Elander took a new route and that was natural considering the secrets that surfaced and I liked that none of it was swept under the rag, they had to confront it. The banter is as fun and the chemistry is sizzling!

“I don’t know what happens next, either. But I am certain of one thing: If you are going to war, then I am going with you.”
