The Fury of the Gods

For more of my reviews, check out my blog.

Thank you to Orbit for providing me with an ARC copy.

I am absolutely blown away with how perfectly this series ended. Gwynne knocked it out of the park by wrapping up each story line nicely. No one died ‘unnecessarily' or ‘gratuitously'. Everything made sense in the context of the story. I think I will definitely be picking up some of Gwynne's older work as this series was the first by him that I've ever read. Anyway – The Bloodsworn Saga is absolutely worth the read. I can't recommend this one enough – especially if you're fond of Viking-esque stories.

My one ‘complaint,' I guess you'd call it, is that Snaka's appearance was extremely short-lived and almost (almost!) unnecessary. It did bring some gravitas to the situation the characters found themselves in, but ultimately it didn't really do anything to the story that wasn't already happening.

My absolute favorite warrior, Orka, continued to hold her own throughout the whole book. She is so, so, so cool. How awesome is it that the most badass warrior of the bunch is a woman? And not even a young woman – Orka's a middle-aged mother! Such a neat character. I would have read the series if it was only through her POV, honestly.

ANYWAY, please go read this series. It's so good, and it finishes in a very nice, well-rounded way.
