Blurb:


The Fury of the Gods is the earth-shattering final book in John Gwynne's bestselling Norse-inspired epic fantasy series, packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance


THE FINAL BATTLE FOR THE FATE OF VIGRIÐ APPROACHES


Varg has overcome the trials of his past and become an accepted member of the Bloodsworn, but now he and his newfound comrades face their biggest challenge yet: slaying a dragon.


Elvar is struggling to consolidate her power in Snakavik, where she faces threats from within and without. As she fights to assert her authority in readiness for the coming conflict, she faces a surely insurmountable task: reining in the ferocity of a wolf god.


As Biorr and his warband make their way north, eager for blood, Gudvarr pursues a mission of his own, hoping to win Lik-Rifa's favour and further his own ambitions.


All paths lead to Snakavik, where the lines are being drawn for the final battle - a titanic clash that will shake the foundations of the world, and bear witness to the true fury of the gods.



My thoughts:


ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! I have a hard time expressing into words how excited I was about this book and how good it was, and I didn't want it to end!

All this buildup from the previous books, the interwoven storylines of the characters like a masterful net weaving of a frost-spider to lead us to this epic conclusion of our journey.

Like in The Hunger of the Gods, we have the same POV's—Orka, Elvar,Biór and Guðvar to lead us through the story. Although I love all the characters, I must admit that since book one of that saga, Varg's personality and story was the one that resonated with me the most, and that hasn't changed.

As you can expect from John Gwynne , nothing short of epic battles that make you want to grab your own shield and join in😂, amazing storytelling that takes your hand and leads you through all kinds of emotions without any kind of mercy😈.

No stones unturned in this conclusion, no loose ends or unanswered questions that were torturing you through all the books to wrap up beautifully in this splendid and grand conclusion!

I know I will have a HUGE abstinence and a hard time picking a next book because that story and characters will be in my thought cage for a very long time and in my heart forever❤️
