A review by songwind
Paternus: Rise of Gods by Dyrk Ashton
4.0
This book promised a lot of plot points I tend to enjoy - secret histories, real beings inspiring myth, music - and it delivers.
Four separate viewpoints push the tale forward from different perspectives. Two of them converge by the end of the book, while the other two are still on their own.
The format of the book can be a bit challenging. It's written in the present tense, and uses an omniscient third person narrator. This causes a bit of confusion here and there as the center of the action jumps between characters in a scene. Not enough to cause real problems, but I did have to go back and reread paragraphs a few times.
All in all, a fun book with likable characters and hate-able villains. I'll be reading the second one sooner rather than later.
