Goddess
“And she found within herself a stone that could not be moved—roots like mountains in her core.”
"You have my heart…
Even when Enyo is using it."
The distance between Delyth and Alphonse is widening, and even the warrior's indomitable spirit is beginning to fail. But with the help of Etienne and a hidden journal, nothing will stop Delyth from freeing her lover and destroying Enyo.
Etienne has lost his grasp of magic and must forge new strength to face the troubles ahead. The road is rife with danger, but the rewards are great: a chance to save Alphonse and find new friends along the way.
Bound by promises they may not be able to keep, Etienne and Delyth are forced to reassess their plans when a new foe comes to light. Which is more important: saving the life of the one you love or saving the world?.

Loved Goddess! It was a worthy sequel of Vassal!
It made good on the expectations of Vassal's ending, enlarging the plot and raising the stakes. As with Vassal, the use of language is wonderful, creating great descriptions as well as lovely and well-crafted dialogue.
The characters are the greatest strength of the book. Each character is complicated with strengths, weaknesses and desires. Their relationships feel real and important, be it a friendship or something more conflict-ridden. They hold true to their own personalities, and change and grow in natural ways. The progress of the characters is a true gem, making the characters feel real and one can truly understand them. The changes are both big, the growth in personality, or they can be small like the understanding of a new perspective. Both are rewarding when they come to be shown. Every character has their own journey in this book, every one a rewarding and interesting one even if my favourites has to be Alphonse, Etienne, Delyth and Enyo (I know, most of the main character's that... but that's because they're great!). There is so much to love about every character and their unique journey, their unique personality and mix of strength and weakness.
The story and plot itself is larger than the one of Vassal. Thus it is also somewhat different, though not in a bad way. I want to avoid spoilers, but it is an epic journey from start to finish, with a more personal quest on the one hand, and a world-important plot on the other. The characters have to weigh one against the other, with important consequences for everyone. The story hooked me from start to finish. This finds me with a second great strength, the ever-constant progress of the book. Every chapter something of interest takes place, something that brings the plot, characters, relations and world the forefront, and taking it a step further along. It is constantly on the move, though always at a good pace with plenty of space for the various sub-plots of character and relationships.
The mix of these strengths brings me to the third. The characters, their reactions and emotions that too brought out emotions in me as a reader. Lovely, powerful and sometimes heart-wrenching emotions are described in fine and stellar detail. It runs off the page in the perfect manner, making me as a reader feel everything from sorrow, anxiety and hopelessness to hope, amusement and happiness. I enjoyed this a great deal!
I could find a thousand more things to say, as the book explores complex topics like depression, death and relationships as well, all in a healthy and worthy manner. To summarize, it is a well-written book that is well-worth a read. It was exciting, sad, happy, and thought-provoking! I can't wait for the next book personally!

A stunning sequel to Vassal, the first book in the series!
The pacing was incredible in this book, every chapter pulling us forward and making it very difficult to put down.
I rarely find sequels to be better than the first book, but for me Goddess was more engaging than Vassal. I really really enjoyed the plot twists and the action scenes, as well as the character building.
This is an inclusive world that has LGBTQIA+ characters, old Gods, Magic, and peoples of all colors.
HIGHLY recommend!
