Myths and Mortals

Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg builds her bewitching world of beasts and betrayal as the Numina Series continues. Sandis has escaped Kazen's grasp, but she finds herself unmoored, reeling from her thief friend Rone's betrayal. Kazen has been hurt but not stopped, and he'll do anything to summon the monster that could lay waste to the entire world. Sandis knows she must be the one to stop him, but with her own trusted numen now bound to another, and finding herself with no one she can trust, she is in desperate need of allies. Rone seems determined to help her, but Sandis has no intention of letting him get close to her again. What she doesn't know is how much Rone gave up to protect her. Or how much more he is willing to give up to keep her safe. As chaos mounts, Sandis must determine whom to trust. After all, the lines between enemy and ally have never been less clear...and corruption lurks in the most unlikely of places.

I wasn't as interested in this book as the first in the series but that changed with this last chapter. I do love the relationship between the two characters but the story running through the whole series is what I can't get enough of. The author has brought to life a fascinating magic system. I can't wait to see what happens in the final book.

This series has a very unique magic system built around gods and demons and ancient magic. I enjoyed the story and found it a very easy and compelling read. There are some things that I didn’t love about this book, namely Sandis’ fixation on what Rone did wrong, ignoring what he tried to fix—a miscommunication trope at its finest. But overall I would recommend this series. As a word of warning, the books are written as if they were one continuous book and often end/pickup in major events so if you hate that unfinished story feeling be prepared to read all 3 in one go.

This is included in Kindle Unlimited and I am looking forward to the conclusion!

We continue further with Sandis and Rone, Kazen, Talbur and the other vessels through betrayal after betrayal. They run, they fight and run again until they find out what Kazen intends to do. I have to say that I like Rone as a character more than Sandis. Sometimes she doesn't make much sense to me (she's afraid to go outside alone and find somewhere to sleep and in further along she's gunning someone down). Her character development feels a bit off. I enjoyed reading the second installment, but I've got to admit I prefer the first book. Might be middle book syndrome. Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC.
