25 Books to Get Started With Science Fiction[5]
The Ruin of Angels by Max Gladstone
The Ruin of Angels is the sixth book in the Hugo-nominated series called Craft Sequence. This series isn’t exactly science fiction, as it falls more under the urban fantasy genre, but it’s quite exciting to read nonetheless. Imagine a world where the battles of gods destroy entire towns, and some humans are tasked with resurrecting dead gods to prevent chaos from setting in, and you get a bit of the picture here.
The Ruin of Angels’ storyline begins 150 years after The God Wars destroyed the city of Alikand. A new city has risen in its place and a priestess, who’s also an investment banker, called Kai Pohala arrives in town. Kai finds her sister in trouble and soon gets entangled in something much bigger than saving her — trying to keep some people from finishing off what’s left of Alikand.
