The Gate of the Feral Gods
Matt Dinniman
2021 · 592 pages · Fantasy
How it reads
The Gate of the Feral Gods is fantasy (litrpg, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are survival and friendship. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book ready. At 592 pages it's a real commitment. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
