“When I burn this world to embers, and you paint me as the villain, remember, I really did try to be good. once."

After Gabby’s death, Dianna is sent spiralling into a murderous rage, intent on burning the world in revenge for what it did to her sister.
Samkiel is trying to track down her down and prevent further bloodshed as his council calls for her head.
All the while, there are warnings of a worse evil awakening.

“You're running out of time.”

This is one of my most anticipated releases after falling love with the Book of Azrael on its release last year.

Oh man, the slow burn! I am not normally a sucker for romantasy and tend to stay away from the genre. However, Amber Nicole has me in chokehold.

“I thought Gabby was the last tether, but you are. You are her only link to whatever mortality she has left. So don't let Kaden win, no matter what she says or does. Trust me. You are the only thing she cares about now."

I appreciated that it wasn’t filled with spice my scenes and that there was a fuller concentration on the emotional recovery, relationship, and connection.
However, this did feel very drawn out at times, even as someone who isn’t here for the spice.

I have two new favourite characters. I just want to hug Xavier and Cameron and go on nights out and picnics with them. They are the ultimate bromance. Oh, and add in a bit of naive one-sided pining. My heart.
The Hand felt like such a family, and it gave me similar vibes to the Night Court in ACOTAR.

“You are about to be forbidden from spending time with Cameron. Actually, I am forbidding him from spending time with anyone. That should be enough punishment. It might actually kill him."

Diana’s grief and anger and guilt and self-punishment was so such a major theme of growth. It felt so important to see her go through the stages of denial, anger, acceptance, and self-forgiveness.

EXCUSE ME?! That end? No. No. No. Especially after the cliffhanger of the first book and now this. I am not okay.

OMG, the second book in The Book of Azrael series is mind-blowing! It takes everything from the first book and goes even deeper. The twists and reveals had me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn't get enough. We get multiple points of view. I'm totally invested in these characters and dying to know what happens next! The Throne of Broken Gods is a captivating masterpiece that tugs at your heartstrings. Dianna's journey is both heartwarming and heartbreaking, and her relationship with Samkiel is everything! The fight scenes are epic, and the world-building is intriguing. Plus, new character perspectives add depth and make it feel like a real-found family. Prepare for surprises and a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. Even though it's a chunky book, trust me, it's totally worth it. Dive into this amazing world and fall in love with the characters—you won't regret it!
