Review "Brilliant mythology-inspired world-building paves the foundation for Kaners fantasy adventure, but its the fully realized ensemble cast that, ultimately, makes the series so memorable." -- Elle, The Best Fantasy and Sci-Fi Books of 2024"Readers who were hooked by the first book will be satisfied by the action sequences and antics of the wily, unpredictable gods whose mere whims alter the course of the characters destinies." -- Publishers Weekly"A richly rendered world . . . Kaner writes action thats both fun and intelligible--no mean feat--while keeping the story moving forward nicely. If "The Last of Us" didnt slake your thirst for stories of a grizzled fighter taking a tough kid on the road, then Godkiller should be your jam." -- The Washington Post"An epic fantasy odyssey begins ... Kaners debut is incredibly inclusive with LGBTQ and disabled characters filling its pages. It delivers high action while centering on characters that are not often depicted this fully." -- Entertainment Weekly"Violent, bawdy, beautifully imagined, and intensely felt, Godkiller is a bone-rattling fantasy thriller that flies by in a breathtaking rush." -- Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman"A fresh and confident debut, Godkiller will have you in its grasp from the first pages. Led by a cast of spirited characters, it leaps and bounds to the beat of its own golden heart, building to an epic clash of wills. Hannah Kaner has taken her first great strides in what is sure to be an extraordinary journey." -- Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of Priory of the Orange Tree"Epic and intimate, tender and sharp, Godkiller is a triumph of storytelling and the beginning of a story that I cant wait to follow." -- Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf"Holy heck, this book is so good. A disabled bisexual mercenary heroine who murders gods, a former soldier turned baker with a troubled past, a noble child linked to the god of white lies . . . You need this story in your life!" -- Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author of the Dark Olympus series, on Godkiller"Devastating and triumphant, Godkiller will eviscerate you." -- Tasha Suri, award-winning author of The Jasmine Throne"In addition to being exquisitely paced and character-driven, Kaners novel features a widely diverse cast. Queerness does not draw ridicule in Kaners invented world. . . . Both heroes and two secondary characters have disabilities; hes living with PTSD, while shes an amputee. . . . An un-put-down-able start to an engrossing low-fantasy trilogy bordering on grimdark." -- Kirkus (starred review)"There are few things more enjoyable than watching a bruised yet honorable man and a vengeance-seeking assassin escort a young girl and her manipulative, telepathic divinity of a familiar to the forbidden city of the gods. Especially when the world theyre traipsing through is so rich and laden with narrative potential." -- Bookpage"Godkiller takes the fabric of epic fantasy and stitches it into a clean, tense, precisely measured and neatly designed tapestry. ... This is a very strong debut, offering compelling characters whose problems mount from the ordinary to the epic in the space of the novel." -- Tor.com"Kaner thrusts readers into a grisly world of treacherous gods in her enthralling debut . . . Kaners bewitching world forms an ideal backdrop to the adventures of her dynamic and appealing cast. This marks Kaner as a writer to watch." -- Publishers Weekly"This debut, a cross between The Witcher and Samantha Shannons Roots of Chaos series, will attract many speculative readers, especially those compelled by folklore and found family. . . . The setting of Godkiller feels epic and lived in, suggesting much more story to be revealed in future installments of the planned trilogy." -- Booklist"The storys protagonists meet en route to Blenraden, and their clashing goals stir up immediate tension. As they are forced to rely on each other during their journey, they develop a found-family dynamic that will please many readers . . . In this debut trilogy launch, already a bestseller in the UK, Kaner provides a satisfying payoff, along with twists setting up a sequel with much higher stakes." -- Library Journal"A wonderful, gritty, explosively violent, and beautifully realized debut built around a mismatched trios classic quest." -- Daily Mail (UK)"Kaners debut offers all the bloodshed, demons, and magic a fantasy fan could want, while championing contemporary values such an inclusivity." -- Financial Times (UK)"Fantasy lovers like me cant wait for this one!" -- Cosmopolitan (UK)"Dark, gritty and highly immersive." -- The Fantasy Hive (UK)"I absolutely adored Godkiller. This novel has everything--adventure, wonderful characters, tenderness, humor, passion. I was gripped by both the story and world building ... it is truly spellbinding." -- Elodie Harper, internationally bestselling author of the Wolf Den trilogy Details ISBN0063350106 Author Hannah Kaner Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780063350106 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-03-12 Imprint Collins Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Series Number 2 Audience General US Release Date 2024-03-12 Language English ISBN-10 0063350106 UK Release Date 2024-03-12 Series Fallen Gods Pages 384 DEWEY 823.92 Imprint US Harper Voyager Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
