Join the rebellion to burn down a cruel tyrant in this heartracing new adult fantasy duology, perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone and The Wolf and the Woodsman. To cage a god is divine. To be divine is to rule. To rule is to destroy. Using ancient secrets, Galina and Sera’s mother grafted gods into their bones. Bound to brutal deities and granted forbidden power no commoner has held in a millennia, the sisters have grown up to become living weapons. Raised to overthrow an empire―no matter the cost. With their mother gone and their country on the brink of war, it falls to the sisters to take the helm of the rebellion and end the cruel reign of a royal family possessed by destructive gods. Because when the ruling alurea invade, they conquer with fire and blood. And when they clash, common folk burn. While Sera reunites with her estranged lover turned violent rebel leader, Galina infiltrates the palace. In this world of deception and danger, her only refuge is an isolated princess, whose whip-smart tongue and sharp gaze threaten to uncover Galina’s secret. Torn between desire and duty, Galina must make a choice: work together to expose the lies of the empire―or bring it all down.

0 0Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC and here’s my review.
To Cage A God is a dark fantasy full of politics, revenge and spiteful Gods and well female rage.
Let’s start with overall shall we? The story for me was well written and made me understand why the characters are the way they are so well. I also loved how science and academia(though only a small part) made a connection to the magic system in the story. Imagine being able to replicate an age old process just by synthesising plants. It was an intricate story of revenge with a romance plot that will make you fall in love with Sera and Galina.
This is multi POV with chapters from Sera, Galina, Vasilisa, Katya & Vitaly. What I like about the different POVs are the range of people you get to experience the story from and other than the main characters I truly love Katya’s the most. She showed true bravery and resilience as the handmaiden of the Empress who is working to overthrow the empire together with our fmc’s Sera & Galina. My least favourite? I’m glad you asked, it’s Vitalik. He just sounds lost without Sera, to an extent that his character is flat for me without Sera. I did find a lot things that he told Sera sweet and full of love, I also get his anger but for me he could have been a side character and the story would still go on.
Overall I would rate this a 4.5 stars with a 1.5 / 5 spice rating.
