The Book of Azrael (Gods & Monsters 1)

World Ender meets Ender of Worlds...

A thousand years ago, Dianna gave up her life in the deserts of Eoria to save her dying sister. She called upon anyone who would listen, not expecting a monster far worse than any nightmare to answer. Now she does what Kaden asks, even if that means securing an ancient relic from the very creatures that hunt her.


A King thought long dead and long forgotten.


In the old world his name was Samkiel. In the new world it is Liam, but one title remains true throughout time. He is the World Ender, a myth to his enemies, a savior and King to those loyal to him. After the Gods War, he locked himself away, hiding from the world. He denied his crown and responsibilities, leaving the very ones who needed him most to deal with the fallout of the death of their homeworld. Now an attack on those he holds dear sends him back to the one realm he never wished to visit again and into the sights of an enemy he thought imprisoned eons ago. Now enemies older than time must put aside their differences and work together in hopes of saving both their world and every realm in between.

3.5 ⭐️ the pacing of this book was totally off. I almost DNF’d multiple times. Not every fantasy book has to be 500+ pages, and this book is a perfect example of that. 200 less pages would’ve made this book more tolerable. There were aspects that I liked, and I did really enjoy Dianna and Liam’s relationship and their banter. I appreciated the enemies to lovers. I will read book 2 at some point, especially after that ending. I just hope it’ll be a little bit more gripping.

I just like... idk.. I liked this book for like the first 70%, but then the sheer amount of short sentences started getting to me and I began to cringe as well? Like the characters and the relationship developing between them started to make me cringe..? I had to DNF :(

DNF at 36%. I don't really like urban fantasy. I also struggled with being engaged with the characters and to understand how this world works.
