Book description
Hey, have you finally found something that will keep you up past midnight? I just finished the audiobook of Ruthless Gods and it's a mind-bending, heart-thrashing ride you won't want to miss. The story starts with the classic feeling of darkness gathering, but it's never a lone, silent presence-it's a full-blown orchestra of whispers that drive the plot forward.
I was drawn in right away by Nadya, a girl who's lost faith in her own magic. Her internal conflict feels real and relatable, especially when she hears her gods speaking in ways that start to erode her trust. Then there's Serefin, battling a voice that's not his own-a haunting internal battle that feels almost claustrophobic. The third pillar, Malachiasz, is warring against both his own identity and the looming threat that his new power brings. The trio's dynamic is so finely balanced that every decision feels weighty, and the stakes are crystal clear.
What I love most is how the author frames them as pieces on a board, orchestrated by something far older than any of us. The voices that tug at Serefin's sanity, the divine murmurs that Nadya can't ignore, and the relentless summons that pull Malachiasz in are all intricately woven into the tapestry of the story. They're not just plot devices; they're a living, breathing force that demands a stake in the world. And they refuse to stay quiet any longer.
Emily A. Duncan's background is a perfect match for this narrative. With a Master's in library science and a knack for hunting down obscure Slavic folklore, she infuses the tale with a depth that feels both scholarly and wildly imaginative. The fact that she's a hardcore gamer and D&D player shines through in the pacing and tension-each chapter feels like a carefully planned encounter in a board game, with every choice echoing in the next move.
The audiobook itself is a treat. The narrator's voice captures the grit and vulnerability of each character, pulling you into their internal wars. The soundscape heightens the eerie whispers, making the supernatural feel almost tangible. It's one of those listening experiences that keeps you on the edge, making you wish you could press pause and revisit those chilling moments.
If you're looking for a story that balances cosmic horror with emotional depth, and you're a fan of audiobooks that deliver on every front, Ruthless Gods should be your next listen. Trust me-once you start, you won't want to stop until the final voice has claimed its stake.
