🖤🌒 Cry, Voidbringer 🌘🖤

• Elaine Ho @artofelaine

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hammer, a jaded warrior, was born into a country that uses conscription to wage its losing war against the oppressors. Khall is the queen ruling, thrust into leadership after the abrupt death of her father, and growing increasingly paranoid about assassinations and plots. Naias is her advisor, hell bent on securing her place in Khall’s court and augmenting her station.

When the child of a god is discovered with a deadly power, Khall seizes the opportunity to utilise the weapon she could be. Could she be the answer to all of Khall’s prayers? Or the harbinger of the end of the world…

The characters were what really made this book shine! They themselves were so developed, as well as their relationships with each other. Naias and Khall’s relationship was so complex and I adored reading it. If you love court intrigue with a side of sapphic romance (or is it?), this is for you!

Elaine’s writing was superb; the metaphor of Hammer’s relationship with Viridian to a wounded bird has stuck with me ever since I read it. The plot never wavered or meandered, and I devoured each and every page. After the way this ended, I cannot wait for the next book (I know, I know, it just came out 😭).

Have you read Cry, Voidbringer? I’ve hardly seen any commotion about this book on booksta and I need to find my tribe!
