The Hunger of the Gods: 2 (The Bloodsworn Trilogy)

Product Information

There are few more additional POV characters from the antagonist's side which will give you an idea about their reasoning and what they are upto.

Even though I’d prefer to have the next installment of The Bloodsworn Saga in my hands right now, I have a new favorite author, and I plan on reading his ENTIRE backlist while waiting for the next book.

In book one the focus was pretty much on three main characters, however we get a little bit of a wider scope in THE HUNGER OF THE GODS and this makes sense given that the story is expanding considerably as well. I did not like her in the first book, well, I was just bored reading her PoVs the most and I wasn't interested in her arc at all. John Gwynne is a master of his craft, and his characters in this story are (in my opinion) the best he's ever created.

Although his chapters were relatively less intense for the majority of the book, I think Gwynne has successfully nailed the balance of see-saw in the calm and the intense moments in Varg's POV chapters. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Orka is still desperately traversing the continent looking for those who tore apart her family, while hoping that it still isn't too late to save her son.The three main POV characters—Orka, Varg, Elvar—from the first book have to deal with the aftermath of their respective conclusion. Consequently, the magic that was only somewhat present in The Shadow of the Gods is considerably ramped up in this entry. There are moments of this book I absolutely loved, and I really enjoy this world and these characters, so even a step down is still fantastic.
