Description
‘A wonderful, gritty, explosively violent, and beautifully realised debut’
DAILY MAIL
‘GODKILLER will have you in its grasp from the first pages’
Samantha Shannon, bestselling author of PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE
You are not welcome here, godkiller
Kissen’s family were killed by zealots of a fire god. Now, she makes a living killing gods, and enjoys it. That is until she finds a god she cannot kill: Skedi, a god of white lies, has somehow bound himself to a young noble, and they are both on the run from unknown assassins.
Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, they must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favour.
Pursued by demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning – something is rotting at the heart of their world, and only they can be the ones to stop it.

Godkiller was a different, imaginative and very atmospheric read. What I noticed from the very beginning was the writing style. Unique, beautiful, immersive and lyrical. I loved it. I was astonished that the book was a debut because, for me, the voice of the author seemed very established. I would say that Hannah Keller is a natural talent and I cannot wait to read her next books.
Having said this, I had a bit of trouble getting into the story. I thought there were too many characters introduced at the beginning. That, combined with their unusual names, made it a bit confusing for me. But when I got going, I couldn't stop reading.
I loved that there were so many female characters with such distinct objectives, backstories and voices. They were all authentic and well-developed and I enjoyed finding out more about them. I loved the disruption Skediceth introduced into the story too.
The worldbuilding was phenomenal. It was clear, well-developed and I had a sense of where things were located. Amazing!
I really enjoyed the book. I think Hannah Keller is a voice to look out for!
