Gods of the Wyrdwood by RJ Barker
4.0
8.5/10
For those all who did not finish this book, listen to me very carefully, you made a very terrible mistake to give up on it as it eventually becomes captivating and engrossing. Took time till this book start a fire.
“The only certain failure is never to try.”
In the realm filled with Gods, old, new and forgotten, where enchanted and perilous forests abound, Cahan knows that to survive is often to walk away from cruelty. But is that to live? He is running but not fast enough, maybe it's time to stop running.
"You are running but you are not running fast enough. You are running. Running."
Cahan du Nahare is a warrior, a very special one who hides from his past, now he is known as the forester - a man who has expertise in passing through Deepforest.
Udinny is devoted to the goddess of the lost, in her quest to locate a missing child in the Deepforest, accompanied by Cahan.
Venn is a chosen child, whose destined to be a warrior, but chooses not to be and alters Cahan's too.
It might be a bit challenging for me to tell how the paths of these three crossed each other. There is a need to slowly start reading to fully understand the tale and the rules in [a:R.J.

I liked the story and the characters were so well-developed! I don't want to give anything away, but the way magic and heroes were portrayed was really fresh and unique. Even though it's a long read that is not fast-paced and has not many events, I think the gradual exploration of the world is totally worth it.
My huge thanks to Little, Brown Book Group UK, Orbit via NetGalley for giving me a chance to read book one in The Forsaken Trilogy, Gods of the Wyrdwood. I have given my honest review.
