A review by booksjoreads
The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne

medium-paced

     “To kill them all, save one”

This book continues on from book one, The Shadow of the Gods and for me it was even better.

This series has everything a fantasy reader like me loves, wonderful characters, good and bad and amazing world building with a multi layered history and a fast moving storyline.

Amazing battle scenes, didn’t matter who was fighting who, it was all so vivid and descriptive with the details and of  course with that at times very gruesome.

I enjoy the representation of all the strong women, they are leaders and major players throughout this series, the companion creatures bring a lighter tone at times  which was nice. 

The conflict of that some of these characters are having within themselves because of the side they find themselves on is fascinating to read about, the decisions that they make to keep surviving causes so many different emotions to roll around in their “thought cage”.

           “Life is pain “

That’s what I felt when I finished this book and knew I now have to wait until later in 2023 to read the conclusion to this amazing series.
