whysharonchen 's review for:

Gods of the Wyrdwood by R.J. Barker
5.0

Not sure if it's the particular music I was listening to when I read (sped) through this book but when it ended, the last page made me feel so emotional, in the best way that fantasy can make a reader feel, like ending a long trip, opening the door to your quiet home, ready to sit down and ruminate. I definitely need to go back and re read for some of the finer details, esp on the world building (very unique). The style and prose is somewhat similar to the bone ships but Cahan is a very different type of character, and the tone is a bit more bleak in this one. It is pretty slow and it is long but ultimately I think it was worth it. In some way the story resembles the main characters temperament haha.

Some part of it is also definitely the amazingly done TBB edition.
