Picture: The Hunger of the Gods by Marcus WhinneyĪlso, if it has been a while since you’ve read The Shadow of the Gods, Gwynne has included something handy and helpful for his readers, just proving even further that he cares about his readers. The scope of Lik-Rifa and Ulfrir in the cover arts is massive, and the realism looks downright stunning. Orbit Books and Whinney has created another epic and distinctive cover seller. If you somehow haven’t seen the cover art of The Shadow of the Gods and The Hunger of the Gods, do it now. Before I talk about what worked so well for me in this continuation, it is mandatory for me to give my praises towards the publisher-Orbit Books-and the cover artist: Marcus Whinney. The Hunger of the Gods, the second book in The Bloodsworn Saga, is my second most anticipated books-the first one belongs to The Lost Metal by Brandon Sanderson-of 2022. The Shadow of the Gods was one of the best books released in 2021 for me.
So here we are again, another year and another book by John Gwynne, one of my top favorite authors of all time.
The Hunger of the Gods tempestuous final chapters have successfully prepared readers for the grand conclusion to come. It is inspired by Norse mythology, Beowulf and Ragnarök.ĪRC provided by the publisher-Orbit-in exchange for an honest review. My latest book, The Shadow of the Gods, book 1 of the Bloodsworn Saga, will be published in May 2021. A Time of Courage, book 3 Of Blood and Bone, made the Spiegel Bestseller's List in Germany. Book 1, A Time of Dread, begins 130 years after the events of the first series. My second series, of Blood and Bone, is set in the Banished Lands, the same world as the first series. The following three books in the series - Valour, Ruin and Wrath, were all shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novels of 2014, 20, with Wrath winning the 2017 BookNest Awards for Best Traditionally Published Novel. That was a truly wonderful moment, as David Gemmell is a hero of mine and one of the reasons I write. Malice, my debut novel, was published by Pan Macmillan in 2012 and went on to win the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut of 2012. I live on the south coast of the UK with my beautiful wife, three sons and my daughter, and an assortment of animals (at the moment three dogs, a horse and a lamb who thinks she's a dog). I'm also a Viking re-enactor and enjoy nothing more than standing in the shield wall with my three sons, who are as passionate about swords and axes as I am (when I'm not stuck in my coat of mail it's harder than it looks). I am the author of epic fantasy series The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga.
