1. The Midnight Lie

Intrigue, romance, and magic abound in the heart-stopping conclusion to Marie Rutkoski’s Forgotten Gods duology. At the end of The Midnight Lie, Nirrim offered up her heart to the God of Thieves in order to restore her people’s memories of their city’s history. The Half Kith who once lived imprisoned behind the city’s wall now realize that many among them are powerful. Meanwhile, the person Nirrim once loved most, Sid, has returned to her home country of Herran, where she must navigate the politics of being a rogue princess who has finally agreed to do her duty. In the Herrani court, rumors begin to grow of a new threat rising across the sea, of magic unleashed on the world, and of a cruel, black-haired queen who can push false memories into your mind, so that you believe your dearest friends to be your enemies. Sid doesn’t know that this queen is Nirrim, who seeks her revenge against a world that has wronged her. Can Sid save Nirrim from herself? Does Nirrim even want to be saved? As blood is shed and war begins, Sid and Nirrim find that it might not matter what they want…for the gods have their own plans.

Marie Rutkoski does it again. I loved the Winner's Trilogy, and was excited when I saw this series in her catologue because I loved the chemistry of the couple in that series and to see a lesbian couple? Hell yes.

Marie Rutkoski has such a great gift of chemistry with characters. I loved Nirrim and Sid. They were fun and made me want to hug both of them.

This felt more fantastical than The Winner's Trilogy and ya'know it was interesting to figure out this world.

Marie Rutkoski has such a great gift of chemistry with characters. I loved Nirrim and Sid. They were fun and made me want to hug both of them. Nirrim had such great character development through this and I am excited to see how this ends.

This book gaslighted me for a solid hour of listening to it. I was like dang her and this cell mate dude have great chemistry…I thought this was gay!!

Calm down girl let it unravel it is gay. So don't worry guys it's gay.
