Summary
Ours is a land of many gods, and we are a people with the ability to pick the worst of them.
Cahan du Nahare is known as the forester - a humble man who can nonetheless navigate the dangerous Deepforest like no one else. But once he was more. Once he was a warrior.
Udinny serves the goddess of the lost, a goddess of the small and helpless. When she ventures into the Deepforest to find a missing child, Cahan will be her guide.
But in a land at war, in a forest full of monsters - Cahan will need to choose between his past life and the one he leads now - and his choice will have consequences for his entire world.
Gods of the Wyrdwood is book one in a fantasy trilogy set within the bounds of a forest straight out of darkest folklore - with outlaws fighting an evil empire and warring deities. RJ Barker is the British Fantasy Society Award-winning author of The Bone Ships and Age of Assassins.

Strong story, poor reading
The book is classic R J Barker, a weird magical middle-ground between Gemmell's Legend and Robin Hood set in a vast and mysterious forest. The reader has a good voice and performs the characters well but has a jarring tendency to phrase some lines completely weirdly so they have an emphasis that doesn't fit at all with the content. It happened often enough to significantly detract from the reading for me.

Like a bunch of short stories
The structure was a bit weird. Kind of like a bunch of short stories shoved together. The protagonist was grumpy and miserable for 99% of the book. And the most likeable character was given a ridiculous jester-like voice by the narrator. The world was interesting and there were some good moments though!
Not many gods turn up, wyrdwood or otherwise.

solid storytelling
Good story, well read, but a prologue introducing the world would have been useful, though this didn't detract from my enjoyment

stands out
I liked the story and the characters a lot whilst it's a pretty standard tale of redemption and heroic journeys the setting and the language made it feel unique. I only gave the performance 4 stars, I thought it was good but I can always hear him smacking his lips and breathing in, a minor complaint I know but perhaps better editing would resolve this.
