A Curse's Death Sun

A Rune's Blood Moon #2

by K.R. Simons

There is a Thread of Fate unraveling and a cursed son forgotten now remembering. . .

There are fates worse than death. Mavyn knows that all too well, but nothing is worse than being forgotten. That’s why the Forgotten God of Blood Moons must be remembered. And after running for nineteen years from her own Prophecy of Old, Mavyn is finally facing her Fate. With the help of five celestials who all know she’s still hiding secrets, but they have secrets of their own.
The solemn devil who is chained by a blood oath and unable to speak the secrets that could help them. The gold-blooded demigod who only wants normalcy and peace after a lifetime of corruption. The blood demon who wishes he could hate her because of what she is. The clever angel without wings who must sacrifice his soul in order to get them back. The golden devil who will wait for her for as long as she needs.
There’s a hum being sung. A burning sun being turned into bloodred gold. If only history had been written correctly.

First Two Books Review

Over 1000 pages between the two books and it’s so interesting how things happen, and how many characters yet nothing happens and they don’t have meaningful conversations. How the plot is a mythical thing I wasn’t ever 100% sure of.

This has the potential but it needs better character development, plot development, world building, and editing. At 1000 pages I should know more and care and feel like the relationships built instead of them barely talking then banging.

I doubt I will read the rest of frankly remember these enough to remember to read the next.

It’s been awhile since I read a really good RH. Don’t ever stop writing Simons. Such an awesome story. Must read.

Review: 🚨Spoiler Below 🚨
- The world building is definitely interesting and extremely detailed. From the supernatural hierarchy to multiple worlds/universes to different types of magic and so much more.
- We definitely get more answers than we did in book 1, but there are so many bits and pieces and sprinkled about that and we still don’t know the whole story.
- Honestly it makes me question things like what is Mavyn really? She’s not a blood which or a vampyr, but has primordial blood. She claims she’s not a god. Could she something more powerful than a god? Mayan’s also mentioned something and now I’m curious and wonder if she remembers her past lives with her fated or if time somehow repeated itself, like a loop until it gets the outcome it desires.
- As much as like Mavyn, she’s kinda getting on my nerves with it comes to the secrets, miscommunication, and keeping her distance from her mates. But I understand her reasoning and intentions behind it.
- I love Jullia. She’s an amazing friend to Mavyn from day one. And honestly if my hunch is right and Percius is her fated it would be great for them fated-sister-in-laws. Plus it will annoy the hell our Percius, which is a bonus 😂 I can see them having a hilarious sibling dynamic.
- Fuck Nana/Esmirra. This old ass hag has gotten on my nerves since the first chapter of this book. I don’t think I’ve ever hated a character as much as her. The things she has done to hurt Mavyn intentionally all for the sake of “controlling” her power because of her bloodline is atrocious. I honestly don’t care what she does I don’t think she can be redeemed, no matter what she does for Mavyn in the next book.

obsessed 😍

I absolutely love this series so far! The story line is so well written and different than any book ive ever read! I love all of the characters i really hope things work out for her and she gets to be with all of her fated mates. Im also wondering if she is both of the twins mates not just one of them. Hopefully once they all understand why she is doing whats shes doing they will forgive her for pushing them away. I cant wait to see what happens next!!! Praying we dont have to wait long to find out. This will definitely be a series i reread a few times its that good.

Not as good..

Book one was much better since the storyline was interesting and made sense. Not this one. I thought this was a duet but another book to fill the series. What happened to book two? The heroine was annoying and cruel to the fated males. The entire storyline was all over the place and repetitive. From rebellion, to the heroine being cruel, to trying to destroy the tree, and to fighting. No chemistry or development on this one. The h chase the heroine who was cold and unlikable. Don't care to read the rest of this series.

Ugh what am I supposed to do now 😭 I tried so hard to read this as slow as possible because I knew the next one isn't out yet but I couldn't help myself.

The secrets that everyone is keeping is driving me insane. Mayve is still the baddest b I have read and I cant wait to see how shes going to annihilate the guys for what they just did.

DNF I really tried

Its the curse of book 2.

Mavyllora is simply not likable, like at all. I've read a lot of books with powerful heroines, they were still kind. I realise we all don't like the same personalities but this was dismal.

I've come back to this book a few times and I couldn't put myself through it.

You will have to read my review of book one. I'm done here.

Got 100 pages in, not for me . I don't like any of the love interests one is a fucking asshole one is a psycho that gives me the ick one is just there and the other one can't decide if he's coming or going I really like the first one I was like so Confused for a lot of lt but it was. Different, and I really liked mavyn, but I could not stand the love interests they pissed me off.

I need the 3rd one ASAP

Please please please at least give me the date of its release so I’m not left out to dry 😭 this series had me in a chokehold and I didn’t read the part where it said there were four books not just too

[Addie Pieters · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series has been so good! I feel like were still learning so much, the world building is done slowly so its easy to understand. Excited for book 3!

[Jaclyn Passi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This brought me out of my reading slump for sure.

Loved it, can't wait for the next book!

[Rebecca]

I don't know how to rate this. The story was gripping but the writing was awful.

Thank heavens! Finally, someone has stepped up to rescue the increasingly stale and formulaic RH genre—and along with it, my weary reader’s soul.

While there is room for improvement, the concept is refreshing and stands out in a sea of clichés. I sincerely hope the author stays the course; please do not sacrifice your unique ingenuity and creative integrity just to chase the latest trends. This spark is exactly what the genre needs. Keep going!
