I genuinely adore these books; easily one of my favorite fantasy series (trilogy I'm guessing) of the past few years. Kaner continues her feud of dying gods and mortals in a wonderfully well-realized fantasy world with a great cast of characters. This is my go-to recommendation lately for readers looking for that classic epic fantasy feel with a more inclusive vibe and great prose. Will be eagerly awaiting the next volume!

I will admit that I bought the first book soley because of the cover...but the story and characters were amazing. This second book goes even further and I really enjoyed the adventure. This one is longerand the plotis much more involved, but still great. And the cover! *chef's kiss*

Sunbringer was even better than the first one. I found it to be more engaging and exciting now that the world had been well established.

A great second book in the Godkiller series by Hannah Kaner, Sunbringer picks up where the last left off

I love this series! It reminds me a lot of old-school fantasy, adding in lots of diversity. After the cliffhanger at the end of Godkiller, I was really excited to jump into the sequel. I thought all of the characters went through a lot of development over the course of the book, especially Inara and Skedi. While I enjoy reading about their relationship, one thing I missed was interactions between Kissen and Elo. Although hopefully we'll get more scenes with the two of them in the next book.

Continuing from the first book Godkiller, the sequel Sunbringer picks up where all of our characters left off. No time is between the end of the first book and beginning of the second book. Rebellion is growing across the land, from human to human and also humans against gods.

I continued to enjoy the different perspectives that the various characters give with each chapter. Because I was already setup from the first book I was able to understand immediately all the characters.

However I feel like not much happens for most of the book. Things are kind of moving forward but overall it seemed a bit murky. However at the 70% mark there was a good twist and then the last bits of the book were great. It still did make me interested in the finale of the trilogy!
Thank you NetGalley for the arc!

This is such a highly anticipated release for me so shout out to NetGalley and Harper Voyager for this ARC! I absolutely could not put this book down. Godkiller was such an incredible book and Sunbringer was just as incredible. The covers of these books are also so beautiful, so much love and attention went into creating this book. Hannah Kaner is such a talent and I cannot wait for her works in the future.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC!

WOW! Just wow! I didn’t think it could get better than Godkiller but boy did this book not disappoint! So good! I highly recommend! It was a book I couldn’t put down.

A fabulous follow up to a beautiful debut. Inara, Skedi, and Elo went through so much in this book. There was so much action, and twists that took my breath away. Kissen being on her own made sense for the middle book, but I’m glad with where the story ended. This book did a great job ramping up to the third. I loved it and can’t wait to recommend it to friends and patrons.

Easy to read, comfortable to slip into the story, and moves at a good pace. I did find it similar in feeling to her first work, so fans should be pleased. I stopped after chapter 3 (6%), but I imagine it’s an easy three stars, four to five for the right readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC.

"Sunbringer" by Hannah Kaner is a thrilling sequel to the #1 internationally bestselling fantasy debut, set in the world of Godkiller. In this epic fantasy odyssey, the kingdom of Middren is facing the resurgence of forbidden gods, stirring and whispering of war. The fire god Hseth, thought to be vanquished by the Godkiller Kissen, is attempting to reform with even greater strength and a thirst for vengeance.

As tensions escalate, the kingdom desperately needs its Godkiller. However, Kissen sacrificed herself, leaving a void that needs to be filled. Young noble Inara, along with her little god of white lies, Skedi, embark on a quest to discover more about the true nature of their bond. In the widening divide between gods and humans, they uncover secrets that could determine the fate of the impending war.

Simultaneously, Elogast, once a loyal knight of King Arren, is tasked with a difficult mission—to kill the man he once called a friend. The king, who vowed to eradicate all gods, has now entered into an unholy pact with the most dangerous of them. The story weaves together the journeys of these characters, exploring themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of wielding godly power.

"Sunbringer" promises to be a richly rendered world filled with action and intrigue. As tensions rise and the characters face new challenges, the novel delves into the complexities of the human-god relationship and the consequences of the choices made by those in power.
