inkwing reviewed The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne (Bloodsworn Saga, #1)
High potential lost in countless battles
3 stars
So much potential but then it is just one battle scene after another. I liked the overall theme and the three main characters' plot lines, each driven by their individual motives. The book takes a lot of time starting off, about a quarter of the book where not much is happening. And the main story was too foreseeable, and just too much hack and slash. Not bad in general, but nothing that made me want to read the next book.
