The Fury of the Gods – Spoiler Free Review

Hello book friends! It’s time for another review, and this one is WAY overdue. I read The Fury of the Gods in October of last year and this review has been sitting in my drafts ever since. Oops.

I actually finished Thronebreakers on October 29th, and I’m only just now sitting down to review it. Good thing I’ve read exactly two books since then, because otherwise I would’ve never remembered the details. This book…
