Perhaps she didn't like what the Asteri stood for, and the swallowing was a method of dragging her into Prythian.Absolutely devoured the book within 24-hours and have had some time to reflect and think on my biggest theories: ![]()

They're both run by awful men who are addicted to their own fantasy of themselves and have mostly never drawn an honest breath in their lives. One of the main messages of the novel, which rings so incredibly true in this day and age, is how mediocre white men use whatever means necessary - religion, drugs and booze, promises of fame - to try to control women and keep them subservient.

And whoa boy, is Godshot, by Chelsea Bieker, a GOOD cult novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
