Book Overview
In a desert world of sandstorms and sand-wolves, a teen girl must defy the gods to save her tribe in this mystical, atmospheric tale from the author of Drink, Slay, Love . Liyana has trained her entire life to be the vessel of a goddess. The goddess will inhabit Liyana's body and use magic to bring rain to the desert. But Liyana's goddess never comes. Abandoned by her angry tribe, Liyana expects to die in the desert. Until a boy walks out of the dust in search of her. Korbyn is a god inside his vessel, and a trickster god at that. He tells Liyana that five other gods are missing, and they set off across the desert in search of the other vessels. For the desert tribes cannot survive without the magic of their gods. But the journey is dangerous, even with a god's help. And not everyone is willing to believe the trickster god's tale. The closer she grows to Korbyn, the less Liyana wants to disappear to make way for her goddess. But she has no choice: She must die for her tribe to live. Unless a trickster god can help her to trick fate--or a human girl can muster some magic of her own.

Good Novel
Published by Angela , 1 year ago
I can't decide between rating this book 3.5/5 stars or 4/5 stars so I just decided to round up since there was more that I liked about the book than disliked. As far as dislikes go, I didn't care for the instant cliché romance and feel that it could have been better developed. I also felt as though the ending was a bit rushed. The writing of the novel was pretty basic, which is unfortunate because the main plot of the book itself seems to be well thought out with a lot of potential. The things I liked about the book is the main plot ofc but also the plot twists that appeared later in the novel. I also liked the character dynamic and the strong female lead character. Overall I just wish the story was flushed out more because, as far as plot and the romance sub-plot goes, it had the potential to be better than a lot of currently overhyped YA novels.
