Publisher's Summary
A girl who can speak to gods must save her people without destroying herself. A prince in danger must decide who to trust. A boy with a monstrous secret waits in the wings. Together, they must assassinate the king and stop the war.
In a centuries-long war where beauty and brutality meet, their three paths entwine in a shadowy world of spilled blood and mysterious saints, where a forbidden romance threatens to tip the scales between dark and light.
Wicked Saints is the thrilling start to Emily A. Duncan’s devastatingly Gothic Something Dark and Holy trilogy.

great premise falls flat
was initially very excited to read about blood mages vs divine magic, but the characters are very one dimensional with few redeeming chapters. the bland chapters all seem to lead up to huge events with great tension, but the those climaxes are either skipped over or boring, either one often made me feel like i was missing something or had skipped over a paragraph. wish we spent as much time with the Akolans and Ana as we did with Malachiasz, Serefin (and his gang). Reading about Serefin's daddy issues were expected, but I wish we had examples or specific memories about how Isaac was jealous rather than having to hear it over and over again. The final fight seems a bit all over the place, hoped it was more descriptive.
