The Gifts of Mortality
The gods have no pity for humans and their impermanence. Why would they care for lives measured in years, when time marches into millennia for them? The immortals stay in their city. The humans remain in their parts of the world. That is until a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death, forcing her to kill their enemies and increase their power. All immortals keep their backs turned on humanity. Except Samil, the God of Festivals and the Arts. Samil knows he isn't very powerful among his kind. Or important. Or confident. Yet, when he learns that the humans are desperate, he chooses to do a deceptively simple thing: Help them. ___________________________________ @Voyageavecmoi was kind enough to write this review of my book and she described it 100x better than I ever could lol. With her permission, I'm posting it below. Also, check out her book "Flight Risk." It's a sweet and deep romance about two characters negotiating their feelings for each other while life is doing everything to tear them apart. The characters have such mature conversations and, there's no reliance on the miscommunication trope at all. I'm *obsessed.* If you enjoy intriguing fantasy novels with deep and thoughtful themes, check out 'The Gifts of Mortality' by @eleanorkennedy14 . It explores the concept of mortality and how it gives life meaning through the eyes of both gods and humans. The story follows Samil, the god of the Festivals and the Arts, who is shocked by the apathy of his fellow gods when a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death. Despite finding no support among his kind, he's determined to help the humans, which sets him down an interesting course. There are lots of great twists in this novel, and I also loved seeing how queerness was worked in throughout both the immortal and mortal realms. Samil is a sweet and refreshing character to root for who is determined to see the good in the world.Complete

BOOK 2 OF CAGED!!! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT READ CAGED BOOK 1!! Warnings: - sickeningly sweet romance - mentions of sex - a LOT of fluff - LGBTQ - Gayness -Homophobia - love confessions - characters with mental issues Reincarnation? How ridiculous. At least, that's what 19-year-old Oliver Menton thought-until the day he woke up feeling like a stranger in his own body, as though he were living someone else's life like a story unfolding before him. But with a loving family and the kingdom's most famous bakery to his parents' name, Oliver decided to embrace the life he had, even if something about it felt oddly... incomplete. It had been three years since the tragic loss of Prince Consort Zwei Lloyd, and Prince Desmond Yohan III still carried the weight of grief and regret. So when a trip to a local bakery led him face-to-face with someone who looked almost identical to his late brother's husband, it was as if fate had reached out to him. Haunted by memories and driven by a desire to love better than his brother had in the past, Desmond found himself returning to the bakery every day, his heart stirring each time Oliver greeted him with a smile-and his exact order memorized. Desmond told himself he would keep his feelings hidden, content to admire Oliver from afar. But when he finally makes his first move, he discovers that perhaps fate had other plans-plans that just might entwine their hearts in a love story neither expected but both desperately needed.
