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

Product Information

Elvar was the main character that took me longer than the other characters to feel invested in The Shadow of the Gods. The three main POV characters—Orka, Varg, Elvar—from the first book have to deal with the aftermath of their respective conclusion. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

The stars of the book are once again, Orka and Elvar, a seasoned warrior and a warrior who is coming into her own. If you somehow haven’t seen the cover art of The Shadow of the Gods and The Hunger of the Gods, do it now. The Gods show up and a fierce battle ensues, leaving you in a state of shock and awe, all the while, wanting more. They go above and beyond what their body is capable of and use their strengths to fight off fears as they embark on their voyage. One of the many privileges of being John Gwynne's son is getting access to the first draft of his works.The following three books in the series - Valour, Ruin and Wrath, were all shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novels of 2014, 2015 and 2016, with Wrath winning the 2017 BookNest Awards for Best Traditionally Published Novel. So I do this to remind me, of where we came from, of where we are headed, and that this life is fleeting.

Varg and the Bloodsworn begins their hunt for Skalk, who had abducted Vol, the cheif's wife and finally, Elvar and Battle Grim proceeds to fulfill their blood oath made to Uspa by rescuing her husband and son. And despite it having fewer battle scenes than Gwynne's standard in his sequels, the Gwynnado in the middle section and the final 15% of the novel were excellent as always. Then there’s Gudvarr who is a morally ambiguous character, he leans more towards villainy than goodness, the only person he loves apart from himself is his aunt, I bet he can screw her over if his life is on the line.So I finished fairly quickly for an almost 700-page doorstopper and now I am quite sad that I will have yet another long wait for the next one. She is so unselfish with her fighting talents and uses every opportunity to push people away who are trying to help her because she does not want them to get hurt, or worse. Ed and I have like wolves pounced on this second instalment the second it was finished, and we loved it! Una saga que integra continuamente elementos nórdicos de una manera tan eficiente que es para aplaudir.
