While I did have a few ideas of how the story was going to go, it definitely did not end up how I expected it ending. They're sweet to Willa (deep down) but cocky, arrogant, and kind of mean to everyone else. In the beginning, they were kind of arrogant and annoying (because they are sols destined to become gods) but as they slowly warmed up to our main character I found myself falling in love with them too. Oh la la, all of them were so freaking awesome.

We have Rome, who's gift is Strength then we have Yael, who's gift is Persuasion then we have Coen, who's gift is pain (he likes to give out pleasurey-pain-a man after my own heart) then we have Siret, who's gift is Trickery and finally Aros, who's gift is Seduction.

Each sol has a certain gift, and our five sols are pretty powerful. And holy crappity they're freaking amazing. Oh lordy lords, the guys.*le sigh* So, this in a reverse harem story and that means that all five of the delicious sols Willa befriends are our potential love interests. Willa Knight is now one of my absolute favorite book characters of all time. She stands up for herself and it's pretty much just a stroke of good luck that she didn't get sacrificed if we're being completely honest. She is headstrong and rebellious, despite being a dweller-the slaves of the sols. She's so clumsy (likewise) and constantly embarrasses herself (also me). Never have I identified with a main character more than I have identified with her. I finished it pretty late last night and I already want to reread it all (ok, confession, I have already started rereading it). I stayed up pretty late (about 3 hours past when I usually would.) but I have zero regrets. I had quite a bit of homework last night, but what did I do? I started reading this book AND finished it. This is a full novel, 90,000 words.I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! It's kind of hard to explain how much I loved this book without just telling you about my experience reading it. They are almost gods themselves, and under their service, she is either going to end up sentenced to death, or else they are going to ruin her so badly that she will wish for it. Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection, and power. Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world - a position that she definitely did not earn. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods.Īt least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won't ever be forced to present herself to them. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt.
