The Immortal Crown - Richelle Mead
Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect--special humans marked by the divine--are turning against one another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin's old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA's dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae--grudgingly posing as Justin's concubine--has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods of Arcadia, a reporter's connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission--and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.
5/5 stars (it was amazing)
I really liked Gameboard of the Gods and was expecting the same for this one but it was actually better. This book had the point of view of Mae, Justin and Tessa. I loved seeing all the point of views. Also learning more about Tessa and the things she learns. Also learning more about Lucian Darling. The setting was also different that they went to Arcadia a place so very different than RUNA. In Arcadia women are treated a lot differently and Cain is much more of a problem. Although Arcadia is openly religious and that plays a major role in how their government is run. Of course the ending, Oh my gosh, the ending. Now I truly cannot wait to read the next one.
