Ruthless Gods (Something Dark and Holy, #2)

This is the second book in the Something Dark and Holy Series. I didn’t read the first book in the series so I had to play catch up with the characters. Nadya is a cleric but has lost her connection with the Gods. She has been taken from her homeland when the monastery was destroyed. The new king, Serefin, helps her on her quest to find and return a girl taken by the Black Vulture. If they can do this, he may be able to retain his crown. There is a problem though. Nadya loves and hates the Black Vulture. Her conflicted feelings are shared by Serefin since his brother Mal is the Black Vulture.

It was a good book but I may have enjoyed it more if I read the first book in the series. This was a book I really wanted to like but had problems getting into it. I could not connect with the characters and the story did not flow easily for me. The story was written in the third person point of view.
