Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The War Of Myths And Mortals
Jodi Gallegos · 2021
67/100
👎 Skip It
The War of Myths and Mortals wraps up the High Crown Chronicles with a strong female protagonist and divine stakes that escalate the political fantasy into something bigger — series readers describe it as a satisfying conclusion. The problem is it is effectively unreadable without the first two books, professional critical coverage is minimal, and some reviewers flag uneven pacing in the final act. Genre fans already in the trilogy should finish it, but it is not an entry point and not easy to evaluate cold.
