A review by the_ya_assassin
Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
4.0
4.5 stars
I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I thought it would be more of a thriller based on the title but it's definitely dark fantasy!
We were promised something dark and holy, and that is EXACTLY what we got!
I enjoyed the world building the most. I loved seeing the differences in the culture and beliefs of the Tranavians and Kalyazis and found it most interesting to hear their viewpoints on the gods. I think it would have been more interesting if [a:Emily A. Duncan|15600590|Emily A.

I enjoyed hearing the story from both sides - Serefin's and Nadya's POVs.
The plot was intriguing as well! There were several plot twists that I didn't see coming (*cough, cough* spoiler:
