Willa Knight: Dweller. Slave. Non-magical being.In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods.
At 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… 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.
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. 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.
Either way, she is in trouble.
This is a full novel, 90,000 words. Book 1 of 5 in the Curse of the Gods Series
My Review:
OMG, this was so funny, and I couldn’t stop laughing while reading. My husband was getting really mad at me because I kept waking him up shaking with laughter. In the end, I had to get out of bed and go downstairs to continue reading because it was virtually impossible to read this book without laughing my ass off. Willa’s one liners and her inner monologue are so witty, so entertaining. I’ll admit it took me a while to get into this book, but once I got past the 25% mark all the things that initially irritated me about Willa were the things that endeared me to her. And those Abcurse brothers are hot! The banter and the sexual tension are sublime and I’m totally invested now. Onto book two now.
This book sounds interesting. I’ve seen it around on Amazon, but it never really caught my attention. I’ll have to check it out now.
I’ve just finished the third book in the series (it was released this week) and it’s such an amazing series. The writing, world building and character development are superb, but the humor is what stands out for me. It is unbelievably funny. I can’t recommend it enough! Thanks for stopping by Kimberly 🙂
