A review by booklandish
The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne

5.0

A truly epic saga! Once again, John Gwynne delivers a tale of great stakes and wonderful characters. They are complex and driven, wether by revenge, passion or by the will to have sagas sung about them and earn battle fame.

Bullet review:
- Nordic world
- Gods and legends
- Epic saga
- Multiple POVs
- Fantastical creatures
- Excellent characters
- Cinematic battles

I particularly appreciated following a mother character, which is always interesting to see (and she is really incredible!) As well as the feature of Norse lore and mythology, which was super immersive! I cannot wait to pick up the sequel!
