Reviews
An exciting, rich, vibrant story, full of heart-pounding action and colourful characters * FanFiAddict * The Bloodsworn has impressed the hell out of me through two volumes. Like the first instalment, The Hunger of the Gods ended bombastically with a great emotional punch that has me slavering for the finale. Highly recommended * SFFWorld * Tightly paced and with invigorating action throughout, The Hunger of the Gods is the epic payoff to the foundation Gwynne meticulously laid down in The Shadow of the Gods and a thrilling setup for the series conclusion * Polygon * A stellar entry in a series that is worthy of the saga-song title * Fantasy Book Critic * The Shadow of the Gods was a great book; The Hunger of the Gods surpasses it . . . I loved every word * The Eloquent Page *
