Only they're immortal and she's now caught up in a battle for lives and power.This just blew me away, I was enwraped in it, enth...
Series: Inheritance #2 I was tempted to give this book one star just because it kept going downhill, but I think I'll be generous. There was nothing really wrong with it; I just didn't care and only kept going to see how mildly it would end. It felt like nothing was happening even though stuff was...
I liked this one possibly even more than the last one, although I took longer to read it. :)Loved how sympathetic Oree managed to make Shiny. Loved that the theme of this book was basically "family is hard".

He may be a god close to insanity but he was still someone i was rooted for. He was a sympathetic character. While the narrative wasn't the most coherent, what with the...

The Broken Kingdoms follows roughly a year in the life of Oree Shoth, who is blind in all ways but one. She can see magic, and in particular, God magic. Which ma...
