A review by mweis
Hammer of Fate by G.N. Gudgion
Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
*I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
1.5
I hate to not read all the way through review books, but I just could not get into this one and the more I read, the more little flaws started to grate on my nerves. The pacing was slow and the characters were disconnected and one of the main POVs is female and is a prime example of woman as written by a man. But more than that, I found myself not really retaining what I was reading other than some pieces of writing that were jarring or uncomfortable. I thought I would power through despite not really caring, but knew when Adelais wrote a lust rune that this book was not going to be what I wanted it to be.
If you want a slow paced, low magic Viking / Templar knights inspired story, you should check this out, as I seem to be a minority opinion on this.
