About this listen
The stunning sequel to instant New York Times best seller Wicked Saints
Nadya doesn’t trust her magic anymore. Serefin is fighting off a voice in his head that doesn’t belong to him. Malachiasz is at war with who - and what - he’s become.
As their group is continually torn apart, the girl, the prince, and the monster find their fates irrevocably intertwined. Their paths are being orchestrated by someone...or something. The voices that Serefin hears in the darkness, the ones that Nadya believes are her gods, the ones that Malachiasz is desperate to meet - those voices want a stake in the world, and they refuse to stay quiet any longer.
In her dramatic follow-up to Wicked Saints, the first book in her Something Dark and Holy trilogy, Emily A. Duncan paints a Gothic, icy world where shadows whisper, and no one is who they seem, with a shocking ending that will leave you breathless.

A lot darker and a lot holier - loved it
"Surely you can break it. Are you not so very powerful? Are you not a being of dark divinity?"
Ruthless Gods was everything I was expecting from book 2 in this trilogy and then some. There were so many moving parts throughout the book that at times I had absolutely no idea where we were going to next, only that wherever we ended up - it was definitely not going to be good news.
The storyline operates under so much grey that I struggled with knowing who I should be rooting for, a lot of the time I was just begging for more of the 'enemies-with-benefits' scenes with Nadya and Malachiasz regardless of if that ended up with blood on either of their hands. Even after finishing the book, I'm still unsure as to where I stand and who I'm behind.
It's difficult to review much of this book without giving away big plotlines and reveals, as so much happens towards the end that just completely 180's you. The world building and creation of an entire religion has been done so incredibly well and there has been so much depth added into it, lore within stories can sometimes come across as boring - however all it did in this one was intrigue me even further.
"His tone was a little bit chaotic monster, a little bit melancholy boy"
The body horror in this novel was horribly grotesque and I found myself cringing multiple times. Eyes and teeth are not meant to be where Emily A Duncan put them on poor Malachiasz and it definitely set off my trypophobia - it's definitely times like this that I'm glad I can't visualise when reading because I don't know how I would have handled it.
This book is definitely a lot darker and a lot holier and I can't wait to see where we go in book 3.
