Publisher's summary

The number-one New York Times best-selling 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.

Sooo upset

I was so invested in this book and these characters and the second books leaves you hanging just to find out there isn’t a third. I love richelle mead and I always love when Emily Shaffer narrates. The end of this book is jaw dropping but I need an ending to the series.

Favorite of all rachael meads series!!

Once again finishing this series for the 4 th time waiting for book 3 I'm going crazy. These books are extreme genius! The characters are original & intense everything about this series is exciting & edgy. I love the way the gods are picking players & setting earths stage. I love all the different pantheons coming known I am really looking forward to the Eye of andromeda

So good!

This book is excellent and the series needs finished!

I think some people were turned off by the world building in book one. It wasn’t slow by any means, but it was a little confusing as things were not explicitly explained until later in the novel. That being said everything came together beautifully and this series is SO MUCH BETTER than the glittering court. The third books needs its day in the sun! What a fantastic cliff hanger.

Great story

Want more. When is the next book going to be out. Keep them comming. Deep and it keeps bringing Viking gods into the story interesting.

Fantastic!

Yes this series is a little different for richelle mead but it is fantastic!! I literally could not stop listening! Please please let the other books in the series get published!

can't wait for the next one!!

when is the next one coming out? I'm very excited to see what happens next with Mae and Justin

Excellent

I really love this series. I hope book 3 is released soon. I know Soundless is Richelle Mead's next book to be released but I hope book 3 of this series is released soon after that.

I loved it!

I think it is such an amazing series, with compelling characters and story lines!! Such a same that they aren't releasing the third book.

Gripping...

Like all of Richelle Mead's books, the story is a page-turner. I only gave it 4 stars because, to me personally, the whole "pantheon of gods" thing is off-putting. But that's a personal thing.

incredibly amazing.

I loved it every accelerating moment. cant wait for the next book to come. left me to ponder at the though are which to come
