The Immortal Crown (Age of X #2) by Richelle Mead
As
for Justin he will start coming to terms with his God, as well as his feelings
for Mae. This book was very much Justin’s turning point in his way of thinking.
With the crows input and observational banter I found Justin to be at his best
in book two.
As
for little Tessa, I dunno, I just don’t click with her this go round. I am not
sure why that is. I tended to skim read a bit through her chapters to get to
the more dramatic and action filled chapters in Arcadia. Don’t get me wrong I
still enjoy her very much, just compared with what else was going on, the break
back and forth was just a distraction for me is all.
The
ending event had me flabbergasted and I am truly bursting to find out what happens
next. The Gods are at play and will Mae fall victim to their games? Will Justine
man up and do what he needs to do to protect Mae after she has protected him
for so long? I can’t wait to find out!

The
#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and
Bloodline series returns with the second installment in her acclaimed Age of X
series.
Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect—special humans marked by the divine—are turning against one another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin’s old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA’s dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae—grudgingly posing as Justin’s concubine—has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter’s connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission—and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.
