John Gwynne does it again!
Despite great personal tragedy, John Gwynne delivered an exciting and satisfying conclusion to his bloodsworn trilogy.
When I read the first volume: shadow of the gods, I was just dipping my toes in the water of fantasy, I’d read a few things that mostly used medieval England as a basic setting. The Bloodsworn trilogy uses Viking culture as a jumping off point but builds his own fantasy world from there.
It’s like you’re along for the writing of an epic saga song. Love, loss, betrayal, revenge and an epic battle of the gods themselves. Now that the whole trilogy is out, you will want to marathon read them.
Lots of great characters archetypes complete the feel of a new myth you haven’t heard of until now.
One thing I think he did really well was having many strong female characters without having to diminish the male characters to prove it.
Great job John!
On a personal note: he made some comments about grief in the afterword and during a YouTube interview that really hit home. Grief isn’t something you get through, it’s something you learn to live with.
