Review
I was hired to proofread this book. The author was not and is not aware that I would be writing a review. It was not part of our agreement. If you feel that my connection to the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.
This is the second book in the series and it is fairly important to read the series in order, in my opinion. There is important background information provided in the first book that makes the second book make a whole lot more sense that I feel it would otherwise. Basically, I think you'd be pretty lost without that background info.
I felt like this was a good continuation of the story in From Gods. The action was more intense, but Skylar was better able to handle herself, so the increase was warranted and really kind of necessary to keep the suspense up.
And there isn't really much more I feel I can discuss without spoiling either this book or From Gods because it all feels rather important plot-wise.
Overall I give From Deities 3.5 out of 4 stars because it didn't intrigue me quite as much as From Gods did, but it was still pretty good. - Katie
