Hunting Gods
When all seems lost, do you still turn and fight?
'One of the most interesting and exciting new writers to emerge north of the border since Iain Banks' - Gary Gibson, award-nominated author of Angel Stations and Stealing Light
Ideal for fans of George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, Alastair Reynolds' Terminal World, Greg Bear's Songs of Earth and Power, and books by Iain M. Banks or China Miéville
THE KINGDOM OF TYS IS BESIEGED. As war rages, its neighbouring lands burn. Amidst the chaos, thrust into the role of a warrior, a wounded scholar seeks allies for a mission borne of little more than blind hope. The Corruption, however, has other plans, and its agents may be closer than anyone realizes.
In a mysterious ocean far away, Chet Karspin, Captain Jarosh Harmal and the hard-pressed crew of the bladeship Fat Chance find that they have traded death by fire for more insidious perils. As they struggle to postpone the inevitable, it becomes clear that they and their increasingly battered ship are at the mercy of forces on an unimaginable scale.
Held in the seemingly impregnable Castle of the Four Winds, ocean-dwelling sisters Sheehan and Seeli begin to appreciate that a dungeon offers a fate kinder than some of the alternatives. Yet even in the depths of despair Sheehan will find herself called upon to make decisions affecting the fates of worlds.
Part Two of the epic Fate and the Wheel series, Hunting Gods is part action thriller, part journey of existential discovery: a fantastic tale of loss, revenge, redemption, companionship, and endurance in the face of horrific adversity - a worthy sequel to the thrills and emotional charge of A Time of Ashes.
(Contains strong violence and elements of horror)

Hunting Gods #2 – Another lengthy, but interesting, book that has the pages fly by at a good pace. This book begins with a glimpse of Kentle’s past as a child. It would be so easy to write a book report on this series. The storylines, again, keep the interest of the reader while the vivid descriptions bring out the locations and the characters as if watching a movie.
The characters demand the reader’s attention as the pages melt into the next. Although it took me awhile to get into the first book, my taste preferences, I found a fascinating, intriguing new world with an interesting variety of characters. I’ve read three books by this author and liked all three. I contacted the author to review Hunting after reading October Song. 5*
A Time of Ashes #1 – I discovered this writer through his book October Song, which I enjoyed reading. It took me time to read this lengthy book. I had to start over and over again before I finally got into the groove and started enjoying the story; not too much into gods. I ended up liking the book and chain read the second book Hunting Gods.
The storylines are interesting and move at a good pace, and the author’s ability to paint clear descriptions introduce the reader to a interesting new world. The characters run the gamut and their variety further hold the reader in the pages. The author included a list of the principle characters at the back of the book. The ending is gruesome.
There is an overview, which I appreciated since I like to know what a book is about before I read it. I contacted the author to review Hunting Gods. 5*

Phew! In some ways this is as I might have expected - it's just as good as part one, A Time of Ashes (if not better). Characters, old and new, are brought vividly to life, the story is intriguing, exciting, horrifying, shocking and engaging. The whole thing really starts to open up now though and it's vast but very real. There are a few very unexpected twists and clearly much more to come in the third book in the series. I really hope it's available soon cause it's kind of killing me to know what's going to happen - I've already come up with a hundred and one different theories...
