Spoilers ahead!


"End of an Era" but failed to meet my expectations.


"God of War," written by Rina Kent, is the sixth book in the series "Legacy of Gods" and the 34th book in the Rinaverse. "God of War," one of the much-awaited books of the year, failed to deliver on its promises.


Let's start with the character arc. Eli King and Ava Nash's story was the most anticipated since there are cameos of them and their sexual tension and banter throughout the series. This book made me feel like they're continuing the cameo role. The author was trying to give closure to every other character instead of focusing on the main characters.


I get that Ava is a spoiled brat who doesn't listen to anyone but herself and Eli King is a brooding young man who hates everyone but her. In the books I've read with similar tropes, there'll be a change between the characters but Ava continues to be a spoiled brat and Eli continues to be a brooding young man. While all the other characters from other books seemed to have had their character development. The author focused more on giving closure to her series rather than focusing on the main characters.


I really enjoyed Remi and Ari's cameo. Ariella represents all the delusional girlies who actually think Delulu is the Solulu. I also enjoyed other characters’ cameos, especially Jeremy and Cecily’s wedding but at the same time, I also felt that most of the cameos by Ari and Remi seemed like they’re the second main characters of this book and that the author is trying to give us the Nash sisters story in a single book.


Talking about the pace, I found it a little slow-paced. I would’ve put the book down every few minutes and it took me a few days more than my usual reading pace. Ava’s retaliation and rebellion act became repetitive after a point which just added more fuel to the already boring fire.



God of war quotes
Excerpt from God of War by Rina Kent




In all of Rina Verse’s books, the main characters go through something tragic and have some kind of mental health issue or trauma associated with the past which will be later revealed. Similarly, Ava is being diagnosed with Psychosis and thus amnesia. While Steel Princess and Red Thorns had the amnesia trope, at least they both kept me on the hook, this book failed to do so. Ava’s trauma seemed forced just because Cole’s mother had a similar issue. I apologize to anyone who is going through something similar and can relate to Ava's character. This is my opinion.


If you ask me whether or not you should read it, I would say it's not worth your time but maybe for the sake of finishing the series you could go for it.


I would rate this 2.5/5. Again, this is completely subjective and my opinion might differ from yours.


Happy reading!
