Review: The Hunger of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Trilogy #2) by John Gwynne

April 5, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Hunger of the Gods is the second in John Gwynne’s Bloodsworn Trilogy, and one of the most anticipated fantasy releases of 2022. I loved the first book, as well (read my of The Shadow of the Gods), so I was looking forward to reading this one, as well. Let there be no doubt – it did not disappoint.

Review: The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne

March 23, 2022 by Jared Besse Leave a Comment

Hunger of the Gods is the second book in the epic Bloodsworn trilogy by John Gwynne and is another amazing entry in the series. When I first read Shadow of the Gods, I was blown away and the well written characters and breathtaking action. 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. (some spoilers for the first book follow)

This is an incredible sequel and I cannot understate that enough. Everything that was great about book one somehow only improved in book two.

Five Reads for 2022

January 14, 2022 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

It has become a bit of a tradition for me to post a list of five of the books I am looking forward to in the coming year (though, in this case, as I am a little late getting it written – it is actually books for this year). The list of phenomenal books being released in 2022 is endless, so choosing five is so hard. But, here it goes: Five Reads for 2022 (BE WARE: some synopsis may contain spoilers for previous books).

Review: The Shadow of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Saga #1) by John Gwynne

Gwynne has seriously delivered in this epic beardy saga. All three of his protagonists would warrant their own separate story, so their three spectacular narratives entwine into a true behemoth of a book.
