A conclusion I wasn't ready for but also at the same time was. I'm sad the world is ending because these characters are like family to me, but the book gave it justice1

5 stars, no notes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I will confess, I joined NetGalley last year after reading the curse of sins in the hope of somehow being lucky enough to get an early copy of this book because the cliffhanger Kate Dramis left us with was brutal!

This book was well worth the wait, those who are already fans of the series can expect the excellent world building and lore that made the first two books stand out so much. For those who haven’t read this series yet they should pick up a copy of a curse of saints as soon as possible because they have been missing out on this criminally under-hyped series.

I have loved this entire series and will be waiting to see what Kate Dramis writes next.

Thank you so, so much to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC.

I don’t even know where to begin. It gave me everything I wanted and then kept pushing further into every corner of pain, love, power, and sacrifice. It’s breathtaking in the way it unravels you, word by word, scene by scene. The writing is lush and furious and full of feeling. I’m not ready to say goodbye, but I’m so grateful for how fiercely this story was told.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for this e-arc.

This book was one of my most anticipated books of the year and it did not disappoint! Oh my gosh I just lovvveee this world an the cliff-hanger at the end of Curse of Sins was criminal..CRIMINAL I TELL YOU in a really good way. This books starts off right where book 2 left off, Aya is missing and Will is tryin to find her. The angst the tension, THE ROMANCE IS SOOOO GIVING. I loooooooooooooovvvveee our MCs so much, I loved seeing not only their romance, but what they do apart and how they lean on each other and it was so beautiful. Kate Dramis you are absolutely fantastic and I will read anything you write!!!!! Thank you for this absolutely stunning book. If you are a fan of Throne of Glass, From Blood and Ash, The Curse of Ophelia and more you will love this series!

It feels like both nothing and everything happened in this book. I think this is a really solid conclusion to the series and strikes a good balance between the romance and the war/political side of the plot.

I have such a deep love for this series by Kate. She has this crazy ability to create such rich characters that are so representative of real human beings. Most of all, I love how all of the characters are not perfect. They are sometimes misguided and make errors whilst having good intentions. They also show great strength through unimaginable loss. 🥹

The curse of Gods is the final book in this trilogy and my gods did it deliver. I devoured this books in 8 hours because I simply could not stop. I loved how we saw such a difference in the relationship between Will and Aidon and that they were opening up to each other about thoughts and feelings that hadn't really be talked about before. These chapters were by far my favourite to read.

There was only one part around the 60-70% mark that I felt was just a bit too rushed (somewhere near a lake 👀). Everything that that happed in the book prior was touched on but it just seemed that the short conversation that happened between two characters didn't touch on things enough and I would have loved to see more depth and emotion during that scene.

I really don't want to spoil too much in this review since there's a lot that is happening since the end of Sins but this was a fantastic ending to a great series. I sat on my couch staring at the wall for 10 minuets once I read the last line. 🥲

Thank you Kate for writing such a beautiful series!

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and NetGalley for a digital ARC of The Curse of Gods by Kate Dramis.
