Although there is no semblance of a coherent, unified plot in Ruthless Gods, I will do my best. The first-eighth seemed promising, detailing the aftermath of Serefin’s death and subsequent rebirth, Malachiasz’s transformation and Nadya new unholy powers. Normally, I recount the plot here for you. Plus, it leaves a strange taste in your mouth. And you get sad, deflated cookies that has lost all the former glory of it’s beautiful dough. Instead of refining the lumpy and misshapen dough by adding in baking powder, she goes on with it like nothing is wrong. Imagine baking cookies: Duncan has a promising batter in her hands (I mentioned as much in my previous review) filled with gorgeous bits of chocolate but she’s missing some vital ingredients like baking powder. Let me help you visualise my growing frustration with Ruthless Gods and Emily A. But, the more I forced myself to find engagement with the text, the more it justified my aversion to finishing it it’s just not good! I wanted very, very badly to love Ruthless Gods. Or check out my review! And then come back to read my thoughts! If you haven’t, I suggest you read Wicked Saints before going any further.
