Review: Fury Of The Gods (Bloodsworn Saga #3) by John Gwynne

December 31, 2024 by Alan Behan Leave a Comment

Rating: 10/10

Synopsis

The Fury of the Gods is the earth-shattering final book in John Gwynne’s bestselling Norse-inspired epic fantasy series, packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance

THE FINAL BATTLE FOR THE FATE OF VIGRIÐ APPROACHES

Varg has overcome the trials of his past and become an accepted member of the Bloodsworn, but now he and his newfound comrades face their biggest challenge yet: slaying a dragon.

Elvar is struggling to consolidate her power in Snakavik, where she faces threats from within and without. As she fights to assert her authority in readiness for the coming conflict, she faces a surely insurmountable task: reining in the ferocity of a wolf god.

As Biorr and his warband make their way north, eager for blood, Gudvarr pursues a mission of his own, hoping to win Lik-Rifa’s favour and further his own ambitions.

All paths lead to Snakavik, where the lines are being drawn for the final battle – a titanic clash that will shake the foundations of the world, and bear witness to the true fury of the gods.

Review

That there, my fellow fantasy readers, was one of the most astounding conclusions to one of the most epic trilogies I have ever read and my absolute favourite from the master himself, John Gwynne. It’s just brilliant from start to finish, and I’ll be sad to leave Vigrid behind until I pick it up again sometime in the future.

Fury of the Gods is the third and final book in this grimalicious tale of Norse Godly goodness. Everything John Gwynne writes just turns to gold entertainment, and I can’t wait to see what he brings us next in the future.

Throughout this series, I laughed, cried, and stood in endless shield walls and battled with the amazing Bloodsworn. Met some amazing characters, fantastic creatures, and damn those gods were just monstrous and phenomenal.

As always, the authors’ attention to detail of battle is just so epic, the blood curdling scenes send your mind spinning with its pace and ferocity. The worldbuilding and setting are brilliant. It’s so gripping, compelling, and intense that it hooks you beautifully. It’s fast-paced and action-packed to the hilt with gore bloody goodness.

If you are into thoroughly entertaining fantasy, epic adventures, evil villains, fantastic mismatched characters full of witty dialogue, dragon gods, wolf gods, rat gods, dark magic, political intrigue. Then you will love this one from the author who brought us the amazing epics series The Faithful and the Fallen and Of Blood and Bone. P.S. If you haven’t read it yet, what are you waiting for.

Is this tantalising tale the Fury the Gods is about to come to a head, as the final battle looms, two sides will clash in an earth-shattering showdown between warring gods and human foe alike.

Will Lik-Rifa the Dragon God get revenge on her brother Ulfir the Wolf God for chaining 300 years ago. With her army of tainted, monsters and human allies, can she finally rule Vigrid once and for all. Let the battle commence.

This trilogy is for readers who enjoy and love grimdark. Very highly recommended.
