The Shadow of the Gods (The Bloodsworn Trilogy, 1)

THE GREATEST SAGAS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD.
A century has passed since the gods fought and drove themselves to extinction. Now only their bones remain, promising great power to those brave enough to seek them out.
As whispers of war echo across the land of Vigrid, fate follows in the footsteps of three warriors: a huntress on a dangerous quest, a noblewoman pursuing battle fame, and a thrall seeking vengeance among the mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn.
All three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under the shadow of the gods.
Set in a brand-new, Norse-inspired world, and packed with myth, magic, and vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga from bestselling author John Gwynne. The story continues in book two, The Hunger of the Gods, available now!
LOOK OUT FOR THE DELUXE LIMITED HARDCOVER EDITION OF THE SHADOW OF THE GODS―featuring stenciled sprayed edges, a new introduction from the author, a foil stamped case, and custom endpapers. Only available on a limited first print run while supplies last.

4 ⭐️.
Mr. Gywnne took extensive liberty on using thought-cage and brynja to the point where it was so excessive and totally unnecessary. It became almost distracting in certain passages. At some point I began to count the amount of times he either.
Per kindle
Brynja: 66x’s
Thought-cage: 70x’s
With that being said, I still recommend this book!
