The Hunger of the Gods: 2 (The Bloodsworn Trilogy)

Product Information

And also, the character interaction especially the conversation between the main characters were handled wonderfully and I would love to read more of other characters reaction when they find out Orka is the Skullsplitter.

And one of the things I appreciate most about one of the new POV characters—Gudvarr—is this, Gwynne is doing something new that he has never done before with Gudvarr’s inner voice. Gwynne made my life much easier by including a recap section at the beginning, a glossary for the characters and even a pronunciation guide.I really enjoyed the depth of the connecting stories and how they are all running steadfast into one another. My latest book, The Shadow of the Gods, book 1 of the Bloodsworn Saga, will be published in May 2021.

My favorite up to this point is The Faithful and the Fallen series which still remains my favorite quartet of all times. John Gwynne has certainly done his homework and created one of the greatest escape reads I've ever come across. The Shadow of the Gods, the first instalment of The Bloodsworn, is released publicly next month, so I can't say too much. Many of the characters have revenge quests that should feel emotionally charged, and yet the book prioritized the action of the plot over those emotions. But he continues to amaze me with his ability to introduce unique compelling storylines, magnificent otherworldly creatures, interesting characters who you care about so deeply, and that trademark Gwynne writing that is always tight, witty, and filled with memorable quotes that you can't help but highlight and refer back to later.

Battle Sequences: One of the many reasons why John Gwynne is among my favourite authors is that his detailed/descriptive writing of battle sequences where I can easily track what is happening on the battlefield.
