Varg and the Bloodsworn have some of the best moments from throughout the story and his found family plot continues to please although suffers a bit from a lack of development. With the strong focus on Orka in the first book, I was a bit disappointed that she takes a bit of a backseat here, but this allows for others to shine.Įlvar particularly has some amazing moments and as I felt she had the weakest POV in the first book, it was wonderful to care so much about her journey. The characters that we loved from Shadow of the Gods are back in full force and I loved continuing their stories. (some spoilers for the first book follow)įirst, let’s start with some of the wonderful things that continue from book one. Hunger of the Gods delivers more of the same great cast (including a new highlight) but suffers from a few pacing issues and middle book syndrome. When I first read Shadow of the Gods, I was blown away and the well written characters and breathtaking action.

Hunger of the Gods is the second book in the epic Bloodsworn trilogy by John Gwynne and is another amazing entry in the series.
