Description

The dazzling finale to the groundbreaking, New York Times bestselling Gilded Ones series. One girl holds the power to defeat the gods—but can she become one? Mere weeks after confronting the Gilded Ones—the false beings she once believed to be her family—Deka is on the hunt. In order to kill the gods, whose ravenous competition for power is bleeding Otera dry, she must uncover the source of her divinity. But with her mortal body on the verge of ruin, Deka is running out of time—to save herself and an empire that’s tearing itself apart at its seams. When Deka’s search leads her and her friends to the edge of the world as they know it, they discover an astonishing new realm, one which holds the key to Deka’s past. Yet it also illuminates a devastating decision she must soon make… Choose to be reborn as a god, losing everyone she loves in the process. Or bring about the end of the world. Read more

  • The Gilded Ones Series: Exceptional
Although this series is nominally "young adult (YA)", it is exceptionally well written and structured with concepts that will fascinate fully adult readers as well. These three are among the rare books that I -- very much fully adult -- read straight through without stopping, reading all night, to see what happened next. The reader must, however, have an ability to suspend judgment and move into stories and characters that are truly fantastic. ... show more

  • Eye opening
I took a long time to read this last book, there was so much emotion and struggle to overcome. The begging and pleading was a bit much but the author wrote the story divinely. I cried, laughed, got angry, happy all the things. It was a beautiful ending to a great and truly series. Highly recommend!

  • It's the spirituality for me
I have conflicting feelings about this book. The world inside grew into something unfathomable in the end, but still, isn't that life? You think it's just one thing, and then you see the interconnectedness of it all. This book does a fine job of showing that, especially in the last 75% of the book. I'm really giving the latter part 5 stars because I didn't imagine the book would lead this way when I first picked it up. Forna has definitely done some spiritual work. On the other hand, the first 75% read like the second book. So much overlapping that it's a challenge to keep track of all the things. Some things felt out of sorts, and dare I say forced in. I had to put this book for a few weeks because of life, and it was too easy for me to put down. Too easy. That's how I knew it wasn't giving what I wanted. The last 75%, I didn't want it to end. I couldn't stop reading the first book, in contrast. I craved it. So, yes, the first book was stellar, and so was the last quarter of this one. So, if I were to give the first bit a rating, I might venture around 3-4 stars. Now a spoiler about the ending. For some reason, I thought Deka would go back to humanity. I didn't even think for once Keita would choose to ascend either. So it was strange in a way to read it. It won't settle as a truth in me. It mentions that the gods are gone, but how can they be when their nature is to be created when humans will it? Or perhaps I misunderstood, I don't know. Why am I even going on about it here? Ha. ... show more

  • Fantastic Ending to a Trilogy
I’ve been reading this series since before the first book came out, since I originally got an ARC of the first book, as well as receiving a signed copy of it through a subscription box I had at the time. So I’ve been pretty invested in the story all along, and have been impatiently waiting to find out what happens to Deka and all of her friends. The last book left off on a cliffhanger, so I made sure to do a quick reread of the series before starting this book to refresh my memory. Books like these are the reason why I love to reread the whole series before starting the next book, because it lets me not only get an uninterrupted storyline, but because I get to see the bigger picture in action. This series in particular is a fantastic example of getting to see character growth and change, and how the relationships between the characters developed and changed over the course of the series. In this book, Deka and her crew are racing against time to find the source of her divinity, so that she can ascend to her goddess-hood before her physical body gives out and the empire completely breaks down. While the circle of people around Deka have been through trials and tribulations and faced impossible odds, this is the first time the bonds between them seem to really be tested. Deka is having a really rough time with her situation, and as her time to make a choice dwindles, we see a real change in her personality. It was difficult to see Deka in so much pain, both physical and emotional, that she was taking it out on the people who are around her, and hurting the people closest to her. It was also really hard to watch the people around her keep trying to reach out, and be hurt by how Deka behaved towards them. It’s always easiest to lash out at the people who are closest to us, when we are experiencing difficult emotions and don’t know how or where to process them appropriately. Over the course of the story, there’s a lot of action and the plot moves forward, but I found myself most captivated by the emotional journey that takes place amongst Deka and her companions. I’ve had a soft spot for Britta since the first scene she appeared in, and loved seeing how heavily she factored into this story, as well as other side characters from the series, and some new side characters also. And it isn’t just Deka that experiences a character arc like this, but multiple side characters, too. I found this to be a wonderful story overall, and loved how it closed out the series. Forna did a fantastic job of gradually switching the focus of villainy from the oppressive patriarchy to that of the oppressive new system that has arisen to take its place, and addressing the overcoming of prejudices and reclaiming women’s rights. The only thing that I felt had room for improvement was the pacing of the story, which wasn’t consistent throughout the story, but I loved the way that Forna decided to back off on the romance between Deka and Keita while the characters are facing the end of the world, and it signals a great direction in YA books. ... show more

  • Series Conclusion
Shortly after challenging the Gilded Ones, Deka finds herself searching for her divinity. However, time is not on her side as Deka’s mortal body is fading. While searching out her divinity, Deka and her friends find themselves in an entirely new realm. If that wasn’t surprising enough, the new realm holds secrets to Deka’s past as well as her future choice to lose those she loves or bring about the world’s end. The Eternal Ones is the conclusion to the Deathless series. Forna does a successful job in wrapping up the series in a meaningful way. I felt that Forna improved on the pacing issues I had with the second book in the series making it easier to read through. However, it still felt to long at times. One of my favorite elements from The Eternal Ones is the relationship development between Keita and Deka. They go through a rollercoaster of support/having each other’s back, being in the situation together, to despairing on how everything will work. The dancing scene between Deka and Keita was one of my favorites from the entire book. Ixa is also my absolute favorite character. He’s a sweet cinnamon roll and needed to be protected at all costs. I wish Forna has spent more time exploring the roles and impact of gender/nongender that was started in the previous books. All in all, this was a solid series conclusion. ... show more
