ੈ✩‧₊˚ my thoughts

This series just kept getting better with each release.

“War has descended. The enemy's power grows. And the lost, the hopeless, cannot help but wonder…where is the Second Saint now?

Torn between duty and empathy, light and dark, love and loss, Aya must find a way to free herself and finally decide her true path. Can she fulfill the prophecy and save the realm? Or should the gods pay for what they've done?”

I can’t believe this series is over. I’m going to miss this world, these characters, and WillAya so much. The Curse of Gods was such a perfect ending to this wonderful (and very underrated) series. The stakes were high, losses were lead, and I truly couldn’t put it down.

The found family aspect of this series is absolutely precious and in this final installment, the characters were put through their paces, but also well-honored in the finale of the trilogy. I generally am quite picky with my found family loves because I don’t always connect with all the side characters, but Kate Dramis really made me love everyone and the focus was quite well-divided between Will & Aya and all the side characters.

The series had really expanded in complexity in book 2 and I was kind of nervous to find out how Dramis would bring everything to a close and if some plot lines would be left open. I think Dramis did a wonderful job bringing everything together in the end.

Also, could we please pressure Fairyloot to release the final book in this series? I need to have a matching set for my shelves 😩

.ೃ࿐

In particular, regarding the ALC, I thought it was very well produced and easy to listen to. I liked the continuity in the narrator throughout all 3 books. As a whole, I wish the audiobooks had gotten an extra narrator since there were so many POVs, I think it would have worked well.

.ೃ࿐

Aya is missing, and Will will do anything to find her. At his side are his friends, including Aidon, a newly appointed king, but now on the run because of the forbidden power he showed on the battlefield, one that forfeited his right to the throne. Now his kingdom is fighting its own civil war.

But rumors spread across the lands that the second saint, Aya, is a dark saint and is killing innocents. Chained and drained of her power, Aya is powerless to stop the true darkness, unless....


This is book three of The Curse of Saints, and is a great ending to a good series. (The first book was good, the second was lacking, but this one... Great!)

Since this is the last book, I don't want to give out any spoilers, but yeah, this one blew the first two out of the water!

Sure, the romance was a little sappy and far-fetched, and of course, there just had to be adult scenes, which makes this unsuitable for readers under eighteen, but they weren't overly detailed. If only the author had 'closed the doors', I would've given this one more star! But the action, world, and character development were life-like, and the reader was pulled into the world and the characters' lives.

I did listen to the audio, and HOLY *&*&* Devon Sorvari is talented! Her voices for the different characters, including the males, were great; you knew different characters were talking!

As for the book cover, I like this one; the other not so much. (It's irritating that the publisher has two different book covers for the books in this series... It's almost as if they hope people will buy both styles, either by choice or accident.)

While the series' first two books weren't as good, this makes up for them! Highly recommend!

4.5⭐️

back in 2023 i picked up the first book in this series on a whim, and i am forever grateful that i did. this is one of the best trilogies i have read in recent years, and i think it is so criminally underrated. and this was a perfect finale.

from the pacing, the plot, the characters, and the final chapters, this was such a well written ending. almost every plot was closed, and you got to see where and what the characters were going to do next. i absolutely loved this, and this trilogy will forever hold a place in my heart.

i will deeply miss aidon, will and aya 🩵💙

[Mo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m absolutely speechless 😶 this trilogy is disgustingly under hyped.

The Curse Of Gods was everything and then some.
The pacing for this whole trilogy was so well done. Period.

So many parts in this book had me in tears. Through the darkness and through the ending.

Aya’s arc is everything a reader asks for in an FMC. She has such a big heart but takes no bullshit and she’ll either choose vengeance or forgiveness but you never know what her next move will be. She endures so much pain and betrayal that makes her so vulnerable. For a minute there I didn’t believe she was going to make it but man, the conclusion to her story was perfection.

Will’s character was well thought out and the story to him really allows the reader to connect. His power mixed with his personality — 10/10. This is a true MMC who has emotions, buries them, then overcomes his darkness and the lack of trust. Between him and Aya they are definitely my top 3 favorite couples thus far.

There are so many characters that I could go into depth with and that’s what I always enjoy because there’s no good book if it’s just an FMC and MMC. Aidon, Josie, Natali, Liam, Cole, Galda, Aya’s father… omg this whole book really pulled my heart strings.

The Athatis - the bonded wolves for the Visya. Aya and Will’s bonded… omg every time they popped up I was so on edge hoping everyone was making it out at the end. Aster, Tova’s bonded…. Stop. I cried.

Evie — you want to write a villain? Evie engulfed it. She is ruthless af and her story 💯 I couldn’t put the book down because between her and Aya… wow. A job well done to the author.

Honestly, I could keep going but I’ll leave you with this. If you want to read a trilogy with proper elements that blend well and stay true, it’s this one.

Gods, Political Intrigue, Geopolitics, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn, Unique Magic System, Prophecies, Plot Twists…. EXTREMELY WELL DONE.

i received an advanced listening copy from the publisher via netgalley. i am leaving this review voluntarily.

in this conclusion to the curse of saints trilogy, aya, the second saint, has gone missing. as will desperately searches for his lost love, he’s joined by aidon, a wielder of forbidden magic who sent his own kingdom into civil war. if they don’t find aya soon, their realm will fracture. aya is bound and tortured by the first saint, who plans to use her to destroy the gods who killed her five hundred years ago. aya must find a way to free both herself and the realm before the first saint succeeds.

what a great conclusion to this trilogy! our main characters were pretty scattered—some by distance, some by beliefs—which made for great tension. i especially thought this developed aya and will’s relationship so well. despite everything they were both going through, they had time to think about the other and their relationship with them. we also got to know a few of the side characters more, and i really loved josie and alleissande together! of course, in addition to all the romance, there was a great plot, filled with various twists and so much action. it was great seeing aya continue to grow into her power in this book.

narration: devon sorvari returned to narrate this audiobook, which made me happy! her narration suited these books so well. i highly recommend this audiobook to those who enjoyed the previous two books!

[Abbie Toria · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really wasn't sure what to expect next after *that* cliff-hanger ending in The Curse of Sins. One thing's for sure, The Curse of Gods was a wild ride and a fitting conclusion to the trilogy!

What I love about this series:
🐺 Fantasy romance
🐺 Morally grey, kick-ass MCs
🐺 Enemies to lovers
🐺 Electric chemistry
🐺 Witty banter
🐺 Magical affinities
🐺 Bonded wolves
🐺 "Aya, love"
🐺 For fans of the Grishaverse
🐺 Great diversity rep

You know I love Will and Aya. So, is it really bad that I enjoyed seeing a desperate Will, terrified for Aya's safety in this book? Or to see a favourite badass book boyfriend who "would let the world burn if it saved her", actually put to the test? This and so much more in the intense final book of the series. You know you want to read it! A shout out to the deep friendships in this too; love them 🥲

An amazingly written book and great ending to one of my favorite series. Kate is truly an amazing author!!!!
I went through a rollercoaster of emotions throughout and each page had me on the edge of my seat to find out what happens next or some new information about what is going on.

Thank you so so much to Sourcebooks Casablanca and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this wonderful book.

[Niya Raine ✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars, rounded!

Reading Will and Aya’s story come to a close brings an almost ambivalence feeling. I will miss them admirably, yet the way it ended was so deserving with all they have each individually been through.
Yet when thinking of all the characters that have been introduced throughout the series, my star favorites are no doubt Josie and Aidon. Their chapters alone were what I most enjoyed, and I loved how each got to have their own fairytale ending.
I can’t even begin to express the emotional turmoil I was experiencing to Pa’s fate— I was truly in shock, TWICE.
The only things I felt this conclusion lacked in compared to her prior two books- was the pacing. I was almost halfway and felt not a lot had yet to progress. And then we had such a strong buildup for Evie that was almost over and done with pretty quickly. Yet I did appreciate the reference of an ant to a God- that was brilliant in its own right.
The final quarter definitely saved this book for me. Am I delusional to one day hope for spin-offs? I will always be wanting to revisit Tala and Trahir, they are something truly special.

Thank you Dreamscape Media, NetGalley and Kate Dramis for an early copy of the Audio ARC

Sheesh, what an epic, tense conclusion to the trilogy! There were no dull moments; I was hooked the entire time. This blew the first and second book out of the water!
The character development was so intricate and well executed. The relationships had so much depth- the tension, pining and yearning for HUNDREDS of pages, Kate made us work for it!
I wish there were more books but the conclusion was satisfying.

[Aubrey Miles · Rating 5 out of 5]

The last sentence being “rest with me” almost broke me

This was a perfect ending to a beautifully written series!! I appreciated that I was gagged with the twists and turns, but I still knew in my heart it was going to end up okay (lord knows that isn’t a guarantee with romantasy) I can sleep peacefully knowing that Aya and Will are alive and well in their cottage🥹

Is it possible to give a book a standing ovation?

Just as amazing as the first time I was able to read this story, if not even better. A very solid and satisfying conclusion to this story in a way that will have you gasping, crying, laughing, and smiling. Such amazing characters and such solid work. So proud of my beloved pookie :')

[MrsAReader · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to Netgalley for the e-ARC of this book to read. This series has been my favorite enemies to lovers series since the first installment of this trilogy, and I have been eagerly anticipating this finale for a long time!

I loved this finale. We dig deeper into the lore and religion of the world, and the conflicts set up in book one come to a satisfying and beautiful conclusion. Throughout this series, I have been in awe of the scenes Kate Dramis creates. I would sit and re-read scenes--not just phrases or paragraphs like I do with many other author's works. This series is amazing, and I will also be checking out everything else the author publishes.

[Alexandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall a good conclusion, it just dragged a bit too much for me, and then the final confrontation/battle was over so fast- it didn’t quite seem worth the build up.

[bluesey-182 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC!

It took me a bit to collect my thoughts on this one beyond "inconsolable wailing" because saying goodbye to any beloved series is always a bittersweet experience, but I am finally here with what are hopefully some coherent thoughts.

"The Curse of Saints" trilogy is hands down my favorite romantasy series (as well as one of my favorite series in general) and this third and final book cemented that love even further. Truly a 5-star series all the way through. I feel like I've heard people say some variation of "This book took me forever to read because I wanted to savor it/wasn't ready to say goodbye!" so many times, and until "The Curse of Gods", I personally could never understand that sentiment. I've always been one to get swept up in the excitement and swept away by the action, and before I know it the book is over and the series along with it. But with this book? Yeah, I get it now. I didn't want it to end. I couldn't say goodbye. I kept making myself stop and save more for the next day because of it.

Admittedly, romantasy is not typically my genre. In theory, it always seems like the perfect combination of things to make me love it. In practice, though, I regularly run into too many things that don't work for me. Too often it feels like everything else about the book gets sacrificed for the romance. Not even the romance, the LUST. World building feels half-baked (coming from a lifelong epic fantasy nerd, especially), major plot holes and contradictions are brushed over because the plot almost seems secondary to the budding relationship, the romance feels rushed and driven by physical attraction more than anything else. And once the MC and the love interest finally get into the relationship, it too often feels like all the tenderness and friendship and all the other soft, "make your heart ache" things get thrown out the window because all that matters now is the physical aspects of them being together. Where is the yearning? The tenderness? What is there besides physical attraction to make me believe these characters care about each as people, as friends, as partners? All that being said: this series has none of those issues. The world building is rich and actually makes sense, the plot is deeply engaging, the romance is a beautiful, beautiful slow-burn, and all the tenderness remains. Kate Dramis kept me convinced all the way through that these two characters actually LIKE each other (well… once they stopped hating each other, but you get the idea) and don't just lust for one another. Will and Aya make me crazy. Feral. Deeply Unwell. "Fight with me. No matter how far the fall". Are you kidding me?! That lives RENT FREE inside my brain. I find myself saying it in my head all the time. What a thing to say. What a profound expression of love. I loved seeing where their relationship went in this final installment. Will's willingness to burn the entire world down for Aya is one of his hottest qualities, if I do say so myself. I was on the edge of my seat shrieking on more than one occasion while reading this. Kate Dramis writes romance so, so, so well.

But there were also some really incredible friendships in this series, and complex family dynamics to pull at your heartstrings. Honestly, all the relationships in this series are stellar. Will and Aidon? Aidon and Aya? Aya and Josie? Josie and Will? Josie and Cole? Liam and... Everybody? Etc, etc. You get the idea. I really appreciate how much platonic and familial love are both treated with just as much importance as the romantic love in this series. But then again, I've always been a sucker for "The Power of Friendship".

The final book in any fantasy series is very… Well, everything kind of rests on it, doesn't it? It's the thing that can make or break the whole series. You find yourself thinking: "Okay, so the author has built up this huge conflict, and now here we are at the final, epic battle. The bad guy either wins or loses. The heroes either prevail or fail. Can the author pull it off?" I'm pleased to announce that Kate Dramis pulled it off. I shouldn't have been surprised, after everything that went down in book two. I knew she could raise the stakes and blow my mind. I knew she could kill it (no pun intended?) when writing epic battle scenes. I knew she could have me shaking the book (in this case, it was my phone) and screaming "THEY HAVE TO SURVIVE!" like the mantra could dictate the course of things. I knew she had it in her, but it's still a relief to see it pulled off so beautifully in the last book.

Finally, I suppose the only other thing I have to say is: THAT FINAL LINE? I will simply never recover. The perfect closing line doesn't exist... Except now it does.

This series, to me, is criminally underrated. Of course, the fellow fans reading this review on the final book don't need to hear me say that, so I guess this last bit is for the people following me: Read this series. It's so much fun. It's incredible. It's worth it. I think I'll carry it around in my heart for the rest of my life.

I will read anything and everything that Kate Dramis writes in the future. She's won herself a lifelong reader in me. I am so excited to see what she does next, while also mourning the ending of such a great series. I'm looking forward to release day of "The Curse of Gods" so that I can get my hands on a physical copy and re-read the entire trilogy. Repeatedly. Forever and ever. (Seriously, this is now in the annual series re-read rotation.)

I'm not entirely sure how to end this review, so I guess I'll just reiterate: inconsolable wailing.

Thanks again to NetGalley!

[Tired Tiger · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unfortunately, it took me a long time to get through this book, a mix between my reading slowing down overall and the pacing here. Once again, we pick up right where we left off, and we spend the first half of this book meandering. Some might call it buildup; I’d rather call it bloating. Because if we’re at the very end of a series, I expect the pacing to pick up significantly, but this book was more interested in establishing two relationships nobody asked for and repeating scenes and information.

That isn’t to say that I didn’t feel for these characters. I did, to an extent, but I was so bored by the new couples, they actively detracted from the story for me. I wish Josie and Vi had worked something out, instead of her getting with Will 2.0 (excuse me, Alessainde), and genuinely, was there nothing else to do with Aidon that wasn’t creating a whole new, unnecessary character modelled after Aya just so he wouldn’t end up ‘alone’? These interactions dragged the pacing down so much they were painful to get through.

In fact, we barely get any Aya in the beginning, and with good reason, because the first half of the book is dedicated to (1) Aya getting tortured and learning little to no new information, (2) repetitive flashbacks, (3) Will and Aidon on the road making barely any progress and barely advancing the plot, (4) romances I did not care for.

I liked the tie-in with Aya's OG affinity, and I liked the way she used her power in the very end to honour the people she loves, but it could have been executed better, without the answer being given to her so blatantly.

In the end, the villain is hardly an inconvenience to get rid of, and there are zero actual consequences to the heroes and the world as a whole. Of course this doesn’t mean that there weren’t changes, but they didn’t fit with the overall scope this story was trying to sell us.

Also, it’s funny how the author decided killing off one bestie wasn’t enough, she had to go for everyone but the couples. *sigh* I’m tired and disappointed.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Kate Dramis and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the chance to read and review this book.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Curse of Gods is a nice conclusion to the saints series, perfectly weaving it's story to an end.

The story starts right where it left of, with Aya in captivity and ready to be used by Evie to complete her goals. Evie made sure she remains pretty much indetectable by using Aya as her scapegoat - making sure she's the one seen as the big evil 'dark saint'.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the realm there is a lot of unrest and the side characters eventually scatter around - and also end up together.

The group sets off (starting their journey in different parts of the realm) to find Aya first and clasp hands together for their final battle and finally bring peace to their people. Even if this means to use 'different means' to get there, or... different people you weren't very fond of before. They succeed in bring realms and individual missions together for the greater good.

The book switches to several POVs, meaning that we get to experience the story from a lot of perspectives. What's also nice is that there is not one single character who comes off as 'perfect', they all have their flaws and their own inner battles to deal with.

Romance wise; there's not a huge focus on romance - but enough for the average fantasy reader. Although, maybe for those who prefer romance to be the main front, it might not be your cup of tea.

➡️Not all readers are the same and therefor a disclaimer: If you appreciate (or rather stay away from) gay relationships, then you must know that these are mentioned in this book. There are also sex scenes, not in great detail but detailed enough (it's not glanced over). So if you're looking for 'clean romance', this wasn't that.

All in all, a nice conclusion to the series & I was very happy to receive an invite to review this book from the publisher. Thank you! 💫

[Anna · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5
I think this conclusion to the “Curse of Saints” trilogy is not only a really good ending, but probably also in many ways the best book in the series.

Multi pov (Aya, Will, Aidon, Josie), kinda epic, a bit emotional and some romance; “The Curse of Gods” has it all.
I absolutely loved seeing Aidon & Josie more fleshed out with their own subplot and pov chapters.
Did Aidon become my fave character in this series? Maybe.

The pacing was amazing throughout the book. I also think the writing was better in comparison with book two and matched the pacing and the development of plot and characters really well.

My only criticism for this book is regarding Kakos. Having someone like Kakos and its king, King Gregor, looming over two of the three books in this series as this big and, from the reader’s pov, mysterious kingdom and potential enemy, I expected more. More of Gregor’s active presence and interaction with Aya, more of his potential ruthlessness, generally more scenes with him. Especially because Aya’s plot during the first half was centered around Kakos & Evie.
We did get an epic battle against Kakos in the end, though.

I didn’t expect to like this series as much as I did and can definitely recommend it.
I know Kate is coming out with a romance next year and I’m excited to read it as well as potential future fantasy novels.

Thank you to the publisher for providing this book for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

4/5 Stars

The Curse of Gods was an emotional and action packed finale to a very intense series. The found family, losses and gains, was holding me together for this book. Watching everyone push through and endure was sometimes absolutely heartbreaking (Aya, my baby). Sometimes, especially in a book that is so long, the plot can get convoluted or drag in the middle but I was never bored and I ate this up.

For the audio, the narrator was amazing! Devon narrated the past two books and the continuity and familiarity was really helpful in jumping right back into the story and feeling the highs and lows of our cast of characters. I was much more invested with the audio than I would have been just reading on its own.

Overall, this series broke my heart and put me back together again. Some of the plot twists throughout had me in shock and I was never ready for how brutal the losses were. The conclusions for everyone felt natural and well earned and I find myself wishing for an epilogue that gave me just a little more of a glimpse of their happy futures. I'm desperate to know they finally found peace after crazy monarchs, war, and angry gods.

[Jessica · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been dying for the final book in this series after where book 2 left off and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This book was so stressful and emotional and action packed and I could not put it down.
Poor Aya really went through it in this book and there were times I was tempted to skip to end just to find out if everything would work out okay.
Despite being separated for a large portion of this book you could feel the connection and the love between Will and Aya and how they would stop at nothing to save each other. They were truly soulmates who would find each other in any lifetime and I ate it up.
I also loved getting more of Josie and Aidon’s stories. They were such fun characters in the previous books and I loved seeing them grow and get the endings they deserved.
This book was a wild ride and I already wish I could read this series again for the first time. From start to finish I was so invested and every single book surpassed my expectations.
Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS for the ARC!

A finale that shakes the world and leaves the world changed forever…
I’d like thank NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the amazing opportunity to listen to this book. I am forever thankful and my review is a honest reflection of my fleeings towards this book.
I will be completely honest, I don’t remember a lot of the books that came before this one but I do remember being absolutely obsessed with book 2 and that ending was everything.
I was able to piece together what was going on within the first few chapters thankfully and was thrown back into this climax of this war. Its characters were brought back to the forefront with stunning clarity. The narrator was again, a perfect choice to bring Aya and company’s journey to a conclusion.
Would absolutely recommend this series to anyone looking for a trilogy that will take over your life.

One of the biggest disappointment of the year for me. One, maybe two good (in terms of emotional) scenes in this book, which is extremely weak for a finale.
