Abigail Owen on The Things Gods Break: Rewriting the Titans and Redefining Fate
In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we interview #1 New York Times bestselling romantasy author Abigail Owen to discuss her new release, The Things Gods Break — the spellbinding sequel to The Games Gods Play. This mythic romantasy series reimagines Titan mythology through a darkly emotional lens, blending ancient lore, forbidden love, and fate versus free will into a story that feels both epic and deeply personal.
Abigail shares how she built her modern Hades and Persephone–inspired world, reshaping familiar gods and Titans into complex, morally gray characters. We talk about how The Things Gods Break expands the universe of The Games Gods Play, what secrets from the first book take on new meaning, and how she balances destiny with consequence in her storytelling.
For fans of romantasy podcasts, fantasy author interviews, and BookTok-favorite series with heart, heat, and mythology, this conversation dives into the craft and emotional depth behind one of today’s most compelling voices in fantasy romance.
