![]() ![]() Two young teenagers named Fiona Patterson and Zeke Prisco are caught up in the crossfire between a newly revived Bad God army as well as the weakened remnant of the Good Gods. The two groups can, somewhat, be divided into "Good Gods" and "Bad Gods" but the good aren't really all that good while the evil are completely monstrous. They're instead immortal human-like entities with superhuman abilities but still very killable. The premise is humanity lives in the shadow of the conflict between two groups of "gods." I use quotes around the word gods because they're not actually deities. There's a bit of American Gods, a bit of the Illiad, and even a bit of the Transformers. It's an action story with each of the the conflicts between being big, epic, and mythic affairs (for good reason too). It's a book which is genuinely imaginative and fascinating in its world building as well as the implications of such ideas. Every once in a while you come across a book which is truly special and I will volunteer that Paternus: The Rise of the Gods is one of those books. ![]()
