I'm a huge fan of RJ Barker's books. He is, in my opinion, one of the best fantasy writers working today. Gods of the Wyrdwood is the first instalment in his newest trilogy, and it introduces us to
There are a number of things I expect from Barker's books:
- A brutal world but a story with a sense of optimism
- Wonderful, complex characters
- Gorgeous, atmospheric writing that you can get absolutely lost in
- Platonic relationships
- An excellent animal friend
I completely fell in love with Gods of the Wyrdwood, and if you're a fan of Barker's writing I think you will too. If you're expecting a straightforward, fast-paced fantasy adventure, this wont be the book for you. But if you love a slow burn, immersive read you must give Gods of the Wyrdwood a try.
