![]() ![]() ![]() Rise of Gods was overall an utterly entertaining read, but I would like to highlight something which had been raised by some other reviewers as well. The level of research that Ashton has poured into pulling this off must have been enormous. I think this was achieved mainly through the notion of how myths were created, propagated, adopted and adapted through the ages by different cultures and peoples. What truly amazed me was how well such an amalgamation of different lores worked in the story. From Greek to Norse, Celtic, Sumerian, South American, Russian, Chinese and Japanese myths, as well as legends of yore, all could be found in this singular UF creation which made me geek-squeal in delight many times during the course of reading this book. You need to read Paternus because somehow the brilliant Dyrk Ashton managed to take almost every myth and legend that we know and didn’t know of into a cohesive fantasy narrative that was incredibly fun to read. Published: July 2017 by Paternus Books Media (Indie)Īn excellent new take on urban fantasy, Paternus: Rise of Gods was fascinating, fun and simply fantastic.Ĭalling all fans of mythology, lore, legends, folk tales and all that jazz. ![]() Series: The Paternus Trilogy (Book #1 of 3) ![]()

That they are going in - entering through a weird door, into an evolving disaster of undefinable dimensions - because the only other option is to not go. There is the sense, right from the start, that they are a kind of sacrifice. In Annihilation, book one in the trilogy, a team of explorers enters the mysterious Area X. To make any of this make any kind of sense, because Southern Reach is not the kind of series where you can just drop in at book two or three and have any idea what's happening. ![]() But before I can do that, I have to talk about the first two books.

They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. ![]() are an older couple-it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. The synopsisĪmanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation: a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life in the luxurious home they’ve rented for the week. But it’s not a horror film scary, it’s a more realistic, omg, this could really happen, scary. I personally really liked it, despite how downright scary it gets. I saw the reviews are very much mixed so I went in with an open mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nine mysterious items have been stolen from Mount Olympus and if Daphne cannot find them, the gods' waning powers will fade away, the mortal world will descend into chaos, and her brother's life will be forfeit. But an unexpected encounter with the goddess Artemis-who holds Daphne's brother's fate in her hands-upends the life she's worked so hard to build. Seventeen-year-old Daphne has spent her entire life honing her body and mind into that of a warrior, hoping to be accepted by the unyielding people of ancient Sparta. In this thrilling reimagining of ancient Greek mythology, a headstrong girl becomes the most powerful fighter her people have ever seen. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thankfully, the cast is headlined by Daisy Ridley (best known as Rey in the final “Star Wars” trilogy). Initially this king-killer is too coy and slovenly but when he finally takes the throne, Owen transforms the slimy snake into a fire-breathing dragon. The excellent cast includes Naomi Watts - in a double role as Gertrude plus a new character named Mechtild - and Clive Owen as Claudius. Since I enjoy Shakespeare updates like “Men of Respect” and “10 Things I Hate About You,” I guess I’m not much of a purist - which may explain why I felt like cheering as Klein and Chellas unfurled a climax that somehow felt both faithful to Shakespeare and, at the same time, radically fresh (though the fight scene is too bloody). I was especially impressed by the mad scene - in which they contrive to make Ophelia, rather than Hamlet, the one who feigns lunacy to insult the king so too the “nunnery” dialog, where Ophelia again drives the plot, being the one to tell Hamlet what really happened to his father. ![]() ![]() Events push two of them, Dora and Pierrot, to flee the island and set sail to the mainland. ![]() Now cut off from the mainland, Celestia has become an outpost for criminals and other misfits, as well as a refuge for a group of young telepaths. Many fled, while some took refuge on a small concrete island called Celestia, built over a thousand years ago. The “Great Invasion” originated from the sea. This highly anticipated new graphic novel from Manuele Fior ( The Interview and 5,000 KM Per Second) showcases his singular talents as a once-in-a-generation visual artist and a deeply empathetic writer who uses science fiction to look to the future of humanity. ![]() |
