The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne

5.0

5 stars, 100 stars, 1 million stars!!!⭐⭐⭐

I am unwell!!!! Seriously, I may need a sedative. This book is the most pulse pounding, nail-biting, action-packed piece of literature I think I have ever read! I set out this year to branch out a bit more with my fantasy reads and I am so glad I started with this series. This installment is even better than the first and the bar was already pretty high.

Orka is just one of the best book characters I have ever read, full stop. I thought this woman threw down in the first book but here she takes it to another level. Do we need to talk about the eye?!!! She is the definition of F around and find out! I loved her new crew and of course Lif has a special place in my heart. But the scene stealers for me are Spert and Vessli! I love these little weirdo demons so much!

My man Vard has the best character growth of any one in the books and I am loving his journey and seeing him become a true warrior is thrilling! I am so attached to the Bloodsworn and their found family dynamic. Rokia and Vard need to seal the deal tho, they aren't fooling anyone!
I do have one small beef to call out,.... Mr. Gwynn, with all due respect sir, you didn't have to do my man Vard like that!!! I mean, I at least thought you would sew that thing back on!
