Earlier this year I had the opportunity to read The Fangs of War, book #1 in the Blood and Steel Saga. Very early on I was blown away by the exceptionally high standard; it goes without saying that indie fantasies are not to be underestimated! In his debut novel, Doble has shaped some of the […]

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

This story is incredible in so many ways and I will try to capture and articulate it in this review, but I make no promises.
