The Fury of the Gods

Since I was able to start the third book right after the second, I did not face the dread of having to wait between releases, but I still couldn’t get to it fast enough. With all the upheaval and death in Hunger, the ascension of Elvar was by far my absolute favorite. I know there are those who are not fans of her character, but I have really enjoyed her growth the most. She is as much of a warrior as Orka, but she has grown in her “though-cage” and heart, and you can feel she is on the cusp of something big.

The only reason this book lost half a star is because at times it was a bit all over the place, which left me reeling after certain scenes. I would also say that while Guthvarr’s perspective was worthwhile, I didn’t always relish his chapters the way I did the others, even Biorr. He’s just such a twit, and I was kind of waiting for his come-uppance.

I can’t say enough about how much I loved this series, and it’s definitely one I will revisit over and over again. I do not have physical copies of this, but I will be picking them up when I can. I also plan on visiting Gwynne’s other worlds and look forward to sharing those journey’s as well.
