The Fury of the Gods by John Gwynne
adventurous

4.0
Had trouble remembering some of the side characters. There are a lot plus some names are similar. An issue I had with all three books. I did listen to the audiobooks so that could be partly to blame. However, I really enjoyed the story. Became emotional at times. Ending was nice. Still can’t get over hump as a replacement for sex. Cracked me up every time I heard it.

This book was great. A good ending to the first arc. Grew to love the characters even more than before. Not terribly happy I have to wait a decade for the next one. But I know it’ll be worth it. The audiobook was well narrated as usual.

The audiobook is narrated by the author. Which I enjoyed since it’s the story of her youth.

This book was worth the wait. The banter and romance were really good. We get a little more on both characters childhood trauma and the sweet reactions of their partners. We get a nice conclusion for one of the main storylines from the first book. It will be very interesting to see how things continue. Especially with that ending! It will be torture to wait for the final book in this trilogy.
Granted early access through NetGalley.

After the cliffhanger from book one I couldn’t wait to read the conclusion to this duology. I wasn’t disappointed. The conclusion was satisfying while the road to it was exciting. I really liked how the epilogue was styled. Very good.
