Fallen Gods Series by Hannah Kaner - Review

About this episode

The Fallen Gods trilogy by Hannah Kaner is a commercially successful British fantasy series comprising the novels Godkiller, Sunbringer, and Faithbreaker. This character-driven epic explores a world where gods are born from human desire and are subsequently hunted by professional mercenaries known as veiga after being outlawed by a vengeful king. The narrative follows a diverse core cast, including a disabled god-slayer, a knight turned baker, and a young girl tethered to a god of white lies. While the series is noted for its inclusive representation and "found family" themes, it also navigates the grim consequences of war, political corruption, and the volatile nature of belief. Ultimately, the trilogy examines whether a society can move past the destructive cycle of worship to find genuine connection and hope.
