Unfortunately, I think this suffers from second book syndrome. I enjoyed it, but mostly because I enjoy the world that Kaner has crafted. I do like the multiple POvs I had a hard time caring about Elogast's POV that I found myself skimming them and I'm not sure WHY other than I wanted Kissen\Skedi\Inara's more since they had more going on. Since it's a trilogy, this seems really suck in the middle of trying to connect the two so not a lot "happens" since it's building the world and the characters more. And since the characters have been separated, you lose a lot of the banter and growth that came from the first book developing them as a quartet. Hopefully that is remedied in the next book.

Kissen is my favorite character of all of 2024 so far. Good job author for excellent characterization all around.

The details make sense afterwards but sometimes the extra descriptions feel too much. I believe it also feels that way because of the suspense, the thrill.

I did not expect that turn of events. I hope book 3 will be out soon!

Sunbringer is a solid sequel to the much-loved Godkiller, although it does have a bit of second-book syndrome. That said, it definitely set us up for an epic third book.

This one is much slower paced than Godkiller — it took me 13 days to finish it, despite its reasonable 400 pages, because I kept picking up other books too. But I wasn’t mad at it. There’s plenty of character development (despite our MCs being separated for 99% of the story), especially for Inara. There’s also lots of information discovery and at least one twist I didn’t see coming.

All in all, I’m looking forward to the third book when we get all our characters back together, fighting toward the same end. It’s gonna be good!
