A review by kayetaz
God of Fury by Rina Kent
5.0
♾️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️(+🌶️ because them narrators with their breathy moans and sighs? Ugh.)/5
Format: ebook/audiobook
Narration: ♾️/5
“Please let me hold you like this. It doesn’t hurt when you touch me.”
4/4/24: Updating yet again (for the last time) after reading the rest of the series and rereading. I’m glad I have more background on Nikolai and Brandon, and it was beautiful seeing little snippets of their relationship and it all coming together in God of Fury.
I still maintain that this is a satisfactory standalone book. There were a few things I was confused about during my first read, like the rivalry between the Heathens and the Elites and all the characters and their relationships. I like now having the context of all that, but the love story still stood well on its own without it.
Niko and Bran will always be my favorites, but I now have a huge crush on Landon and Jeremy too.
I continue to be so sad we’re not getting a Gareth book and I will cross my fingers for a novella for him and Kayden one day. Why would Rina Kent dangle that carrot if she wasn’t going to feed us?
This is my last official reread that I will be tracking on Goodreads, but I’ll probably reread this book a hundred more times in my life. Legacy of Gods is one of my top 5 favorite series, but God of Fury is my #1 all-time favorite book. I will never, ever move on from NikoBran.

2/29/24: Updating again after finishing the audiobook. Holy mother of all things… The book was already 5 stars but WITH those voice actors? Literally the hottest combination of the two hottest things in the entire world. I am sweating, I am giggling, I think I’m dead? Hahaha well let me go enjoy heaven again.
…
What is this review? It’s a mess. Like my head after that freaking audiobook.

2/27/24: Updating review to 5 stars because I can’t get this book or these characters out of my head and I’ve never had a bigger book hangover in my life so to hell with the things I found fault with before.
#NikoBran forever

Okay, I’ll be honest, this isn’t going to be a super in-depth philosophical review. I am here just for the vibes, baby.
It took me three tries to really get into this book. Again, I was looking way too far into it instead of just feeling the feels. And when I felt the feels, I. Felt. The. Feels. I can’t give you one single emotion I didn’t experience while reading this. I laughed, I cringed, I felt nauseous, I fucking sobbed. This gave me Red, White & Royal Blue vibes but instead of a First Son and a prince, it was a mafia heir and a Prince Charming. And like 1000 times darker. But I felt the same feelings throughout both books.
I wish I could give this five stars, because it definitely gave five star emotions, but there were just a bunch of issues I couldn’t get past. I will say that I haven’t read any of the previous books in the series, but since it’s classified as a standalone, you shouldn’t have to read them to understand certain things. Like I didn’t get the whole Nikolai/Landon drama. Or really anything to do with the tension between the Heathens and the Elites. It was just confusing. And there were so many side characters that my brain was constantly spiraling at the huge influx of names and trying to remember whose side they were on and who they were dating and their role in the story.
But I’m going to ignore all that because Bran and Niko cut into my chest, tore out my heart, sucker punched it and returned it with a little smiley face and lotus flower and my life is both worse and so much better for having read this book. I will think about it for the rest of my life probably.
