Gods of the Wyrdwood by R.J. Barker
4.75
adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 The book begins in a heavy world building. Honestly, I am not a fan of these. I had to be on a certain mood to digest the things I read. Add to this, the complicated hierarchy, political positions, titles that correspond to their magical abilities, and the brutal beasts and creatures inside the vast forest in Crua. It does take a while for one to absorb all these data and understand the world where Cahan is.
