The books of Godkiller and Sunbringer are a part of a planned trilogy entitled the Fallen Gods Trilogy. Hannah Kaner is relatively new in the fantasy genre.

There were many things I enjoyed over reading both of these books. Godkiller was a fast paced novel that brought excitement and huge character development throughout the novel. Sunbringer did have its moments.

What I found most enjoyable in Godkiller was the dialogue and everyday banter between the main characters. The main characters included Kissen, Inara, Skediceth and Elogast. Kissen is our main female character while Inara is our secondary female character. Elogast is our main male character while the King (Arren) is our secondary male character. Skediceth (Skedi) is our main god of the first two books of this series.

Godkiller Review: Godkiller has to be one of the better fantasy books I have read this year. I found myself very interested in what Kissen and Inara would succumb to in regards to their relationship. This novel started off with Kissen wanting revenge against a god that murdered her entire family. Throughout this novel, Kissen went through a battle within herself and a battle outside. She met an orphan girl who recently lost her mother (or so we thought) to a murder. This particular orphan girl had a tiny god of white lies with her (Skediceth). They both bonded with each other and could not part from one another. If one dies, the other dies and vice versa.

My reaction of Elogast when he stepped into the picture was wondering what his deal was all about. He was a baker after he was a knight and a very close friend of the king. I believe he primarily joined the journey of Kissen and Inara was to find out exactly how the king was touched by a god and why he got more strange as time moved on.

Throughout this novel, character development took a huge turn. Kissen and Inara both grew so much in regards to each other along with the inner being of themselves. Elogast just made me angry for much of the book. I just felt like he was a secondary character and was just there for protection to Kissen and Inara.

I am not going to spoil this entire first book of this planned trilogy for you, so if you wanna see what exactly happens and if you love character development, I’d recommend you reading Godkiller!

Sunbringer review: for some reason, I had such a hard time getting into this novel. I found the beginning of the novel very boring and honestly, a snooze fest. It only picked up in the last 75 pages or so. It was much less enjoyable then from reading Godkiller.

The main positive contribution to this novel was the huge character growth of Inara. She grew from a shy girl that didn’t know what to do with anything to becoming a badass with a bow and arrow. She was able to grow more into her own powers instead of watching everyone else doing their own thing. She’s my favorite character throughout Godkiller and Sunbringer. If anything happens to her in the last book of this trilogy, I will raise all sorts of Hell! I want nothing bad to happen to her.

Now, will I read the last book of this trilogy whenever it decides to come out?? Yes, I will. I want to know the ending of Inara’s journey as she grows more into her powers.

Happy Reading!!
