The Hunger of the Gods

Book Two of the Bloodsworn Saga

De: John Gwynne

Narrado por: Colin Mace

The Hunger of the Gods continues John Gwynne's acclaimed Norse-inspired epic fantasy series, packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance

THE DEAD GODS ARE RISING . . .

Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison. Now she plots a new age of blood and conquest.

As Orka continues the hunt for her missing son, the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own—and Varg takes the first steps on the path of vengeance.

Elvar has sworn to fulfil her blood oath and rescue a prisoner from the clutches of Lik-Rifa and her dragonborn followers, but first she must persuade the Battle-Grim to follow her.

Yet even the might of the Bloodsworn and Battle-Grim cannot stand alone against a dragon god.

Their hope lies within the mad writings of a chained god. A book of forbidden magic with the power to raise the wolf god Ulfrir from the dead . . . and bring about a battle that will shake the foundations of the earth.

Best read on f 2022

This book has everything, tears, action, terror, and vidid visual literature. I absolutely loved it. More please…

Perfect book!

This is the second book in the bloodswarn trilogy.
An amazing read!!!
The narrator is also perfect and i am definitely going to read more by John Gwynne

It got me hooked

I really enjoyed it as a whole.

The story got me in, and kept me engaged throughout. Not a new story but definitely enjoyable.

The narrator was fantastic.

Awesome Follow-up

John Gwynne and Colin Mace are an amazing combo. I’ve always been a fan of Gwynne’s writing but in this series he has really found his stride. Such compelling character development and incredible action sequences. I’m only sad I have to wait for the next instalment.

My Heart

Not even sure what I feel after reading rhe last few chapters. I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm angry. wow what a roller coaster of emotions. the narrator also did a good job . enjoyed this thoroughly. I can't wait for book 3.

Good story, terrible narrator

I've basically copied and pasted this review for all 3 books in the series as nothing changes. The story is engaging, the characters interesting, and the author has created a memorable world.

However, this is all ruined by the narrator. He has a stilted way a reading, like he forgets words and has to concentrateon them. The character voices do not match the description the author actually wrote into the story, best example of this is Lik-reefa. The story will say "she yelled" or "he snarled" etc and the narrator just reads it with no inflection.

If I wasn't enjoying the story so much I would have quit after the first book due to his terrible "performance".

Thin story and lots of fighting

The story is ok, but you get tired of the constant fighting and I did not rely care much about if any of the characters dies or not.

Will not read the 3 part

I honestly don't know, who writes the 5 star reviews for this one, if they read any other books before, but this is a solid 2 starts entry. 3 stars if you focus on the world building and you like the concept of the selfish gods. The plot is okay, the characters are flat and cold and it is kind like with the Book of the Fallen - building up for a great finale, but just not as good. Too impersonal. Doesn't make me cheer for any of the protagonists. It's dry like a report from an event rather than a thrilling story that keeps you involved.
