Gods of the Wyrdwood by RJ Barker

Gods of the Wyrdwood is my first experience of RJ Barkers work and though it is well crafted it struggled to hold my attention. At first I was really drawn in by Cahan, the main character, as he is claimed by the Skua-Rai as the new Cowl-Rai, where he will live as a god. It does not take long for him to realise that this is not a position that will last and he is discarded for the next very quickly. After that I started to lose interest, the character development felt a little flat and there was so much going on I struggled to care for any of the characters at all.
