Varg and the Bloodsworn begins their hunt for Skalk, who had abducted Vol, the cheif's wife and finally, Elvar and Battle Grim proceeds to fulfill their blood oath made to Uspa by rescuing her husband and son. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I think it will change the minds of those who really do not like to read fantasy or are on the fence. As Orka continues the hunt for her missing son, the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own – and Varg takes the first steps on the path of vengeance. As the fair-fame band of trappers and slavers, they were already a bit murky and unlikable, but it's interesting to see their side of things.

The three main POV characters—Orka, Varg, Elvar—from the first book have to deal with the aftermath of their respective conclusion. The Hunger of the Gods tempestuous final chapters have successfully prepared readers for the grand conclusion to come. Whether it's the Greek-mythology original trilogy or the newly released Norse-mythology one, I think they're all masterwork in video games.

So I will do my best, although I feel like no matter what I come up with it won't come anywhere near doing this book or series justice.

My minor issue with the pacing aside, The Hunger of the Gods have furious battle scenes, savage display of power, intricate world-building, and well-written characters. Although she is still not much better then Biorr) She stepped up and seems to be coming around to seeing how inhumane it is to enslave people. It has a well developed and immersive Viking world that feels real and much better then a TV show could ever produce.This creates a much more appreciated aspect of "morally grey" characters all around, whereas the first book felt more black and white. Pacing: I felt that the pacing of this book is little faster than TSOTG but I wouldn't say its breakneck.

Un propósito como una partida de ajedrez en el sentido de que Gwynne avanza la trama como quiere y a menudo no ves a donde va, o lo ves pero no aciertas. It was one of the things I struggled with in the first book, the new terms and keeping track of everyone. I’m so glad my GR friends recommended it to me and I will keep the praise flowing to everyone I know as well. I’m also a Viking re-enactor and enjoy nothing more than standing in the shield wall with my three sons, who are as passionate about swords and axes as I am (when I’m not stuck in my coat of mail; it’s harder than it looks).Now I can say yes I fully understand why is Gwynne so hyped and now I'm motivated again to read the Faithful and the Fallen. Maybe I'm a little biased when it comes to John Gwynne but I honestly couldn't find anything wrong with this book.

I was hesitant to go into this just because it is a chunky book and I did not remember everything in book one so it was a challenge.

The characters are household names, so it almost feels as if they are real, and thus the trials, tribulations and torment they are put through just wrenches my heart.Awesome to be reunited with The Bloodsworn and the rest of the cast in another instalment of horror, torment, loss, and most importantly, friendship. They all have strong motivations, and this book helps us to understand intellectually what their goals and needs are.
