With easy to read prose that is rich in detail, the settings and characters come to life on the page. Gwynne’s writing is compelling and immersive right from the start. So this is my first ever John Gwynne novel and I have been MISSING OUT because Gwynne is a fantastic writer and story teller. My experience was quite literally a cycle of ‘oh I like this character they’re so sweet and…oh no’, ‘this character is the best and if anything happens to them I will… NO’, * Squint* ‘I like this character.*squints harder* this isn’t going to end well is it.?’ SO GET READY for this epic but brutal book, I swear you’re going to love it. The Shadow Of The Gods, by John Gwynne is a brilliant Norse inspired story. Three warriors fight for battle-fame, family, and vengeance, but their journey falls under the Shadow of the Gods and the promise of blood runs deep and true.ĬW/TW: Gore/Violence/Graphic violence/death/murder/slavery/slave trading/kidnapping/others may be present. Whispers of war exist throughout Vigrid, from land to sea war is coming. The Gods may be gone but their power is not, their Bones hold the promise of it, their children carry it’s secrets in their blood. Synopsis: The Gods are dead, they fought themselves into extinction and left only bones behind.
