The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne
4.0
4.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Took everything from Book 1 and took it exactly where you wanted it, too. Sped up the pace a bit, threw in a lot more action. Some could argue it could’ve been a bit shorter, but the “extra” chapters are far and few in between, and if you like the characters, which I did, they’re still enjoyable.
It can be a bit jarring going to 5 PoV’s, knowing when a chapter ends, it may be a while before that thread picks back up. But there’s not a weak story among the 5 and they all add value as well as being unique from each other.
The action is the treat here, it has stakes, you really want to root for the characters, and it’s described so well.
This book also doesn’t suffer from the middle book syndrome of just being set up for book 3. It reaches some good conclusions to plot threads while still making sure you’re ready for the last installment. Which I am.
