Holy cow! What did I just read!<\/p>\n

Six immortal siblings.\u00a0Five sworn to peace.\u00a0One demands a throne.<\/em><\/p>\n

Radiance, the mysterious power of life and creation, is theirs to command. Death cannot claim them. For hundreds of years, the ever-living ruled with ease. Yet when the world is nearly broken beneath their reign, the humbled six swear a They will sit upon no thrones, wear no crowns, and no longer teach humanity the gifts of radiance.<\/em><\/p>\n

But after centuries of peace, Eder rejects their vow, anoints himself Voice of Father, and spreads a new, cruel faith across the land.<\/em><\/p>\n

Faron cannot allow such indiscretion. Returning from a self-imposed exile, he swears to crush Eder\u2019s kingdom, and he will not do so alone\u2014Sariel, their cold and calculating brother, knows all too well that an ever-living\u2019s dominion is bound for brutality and destruction. But to overthrow a nation, they will need more than each other. They will need an army and a ruler who can take the throne their own vow forbids. And so, they pledge themselves to the fanatical Bastard Princess, a woman with incredible powers she insists were given to her by the goddess Leliel.<\/em><\/p>\n

But Eder\u2019s conquest is not what it seems, and it will take more than a holy war to stop an immortal who has heard the desperate plea of a god.<\/em><\/p>\n

Exhilarating. Imaginative. Wholly original. If you can\u2019t tell I really enjoyed this book. It\u2019s the kind of book that leaves a phantom in your brain for a couple of days afterward. Every time I think about opening my kindle, I imagine I\u2019m going back to this world, only to remember that I finished this book days ago and am on to something new. Which does not bode well for the next book on my TBR because I think I need a palate cleanser.<\/p>\n

The characters in this novel are so completely fascinating. Each of them are broken in their own unique way and are all insane. Deeply insane, but trying to lead\/control this world of humans as the only 6 immortal beings with power. As we can see, that does not help their case. Who does deserve to lead? Should rulers lead with compassion or be merciless in a pursuit of justice. Questions that are on the top of all our minds at the moment. This book doesn\u2019t give us an answer but does illustrate the questions well. <\/p>\n

It is also completely crazy pants. In the best of ways. The last few pages are absolutely insane and compelling. I recommend this book for anyone who likes darker fantasy with very high stakes. Can\u2019t wait for the next book in the series.<\/p>\n
