I finished this book in one sitting!! That said something~ in a way that the storyline is gripping enough, the pace is okay (they're wrecking havoc 30% in so yeah). 

I feel like this book is finally underline the series' title (False God). 

For me, Vilest Things is enjoyable in the matter of me turning off my critical thinking skills and receive  whatever Chloe Gong throw my way throughout the plot.... (It's still all over the place, but page turning I guess)

I mean, yes we get this kind of magic system. We understood it from the prev book, only for it to be useless bcs there are so many exceptions. The plot armor..... A lot of things don't make sense. The author conveniently change the way of the magic as she saw fit. In the end it's about the chosen one and it makes the whole series less interesting for me. 

And I think book one lost its importance. Vilest Things is very very different than Immortal Longing. Anton and Calla didn't have to go through the bloody games to be in this position for the second book to go through (?) the game itself is not necessarily crucial in the end. 

Wondering how someone who's in coma for 7 years, wake up, and basically the strongest person there???? (Told ya if you're not muling over things too hard you may enjoy the book better. Don't question it).

This book has more medieval vibes with the crown that choose the leader kind of thing. Revolution and challenge the monarchy.

For an adult sff novel, I've seen better (in terms of writing, premise, and plot).

Oh, and I actually liked the characters dynamic. Chloe Gong strength 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾


If you're into SFF with kingdom intricts, unhinged FMC, toppling down monarch, laced with compli ated romance, and plot twists, give this series a go!!!

You can start by reading its first installment, Immortal Longing.

Thank you Sgaa Press and Netgalley for the arc in exchange for honest review.
