Synopsis

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 Vigrid 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 without and within. As she fights to assert her authority in readiness for the coming conflict, she faces a surely insurmountable task: reigning in the ferocity of a wolf god.

As Biórr and his warband make their way north, eager for blood, Guðvarr pursues a mission of his own, hoping to win Lik-Rifa’s favor 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.

Goodreads review by Petrik on January 22, 2025

ARC provided by the publisher—Orbit—in exchange for an honest review. The moment is here. Another ending from John Gwynne. The Fury of the Gods is the action-packed concluding volume to Gwynne’s—quite likely—most popular series, The Bloodsworn Saga. This is a difficult book to review. It’s also probab......more

Goodreads review by Linz_loves_books on October 22, 2024

Omg! How am I supposed to put into words what this series has done to me and how incredibly epic this book was. I simply can't...there are no words you simply have to read and experience it for yourself. John Gwynne is an absolute master when it comes to writing epic fantasy. I said it with book one......more

Goodreads review by Christopher on December 20, 2024

Now THAT’S how you close out an epic fantasy series: oaths kept, mountains shattered, gods slain and resurrected, and a grim, relentless orgy of revenge - people are out here dedicating deaths like Friday night pop song requests. Vigrith is a hard land, but at least when somebody paints the snow wit......more
