The God-King Chronicles are good reading

I've just finished listening to The Godbreaker - book three of Mike Brooks' God-King Chronicles and it's hard to tell why I haven't heard people yelling from the rooftops about this series. As you can probably tell from the cover, these are firmly in the territory of epic fantasy, but they're a long way from most other books in the genre that I've read. That is largely because their central theme is one of cultural acceptance and community. The Black Coast is a story about two very alien groups of people learning to live together and the conflicts that arise around that. The Splinter King and The Godbreaker pick up from there and draw the canvas ever wider, revealing the full scope of the story. It has all the things you might expect from the genre- multiple character perspectives, epic battles, hints of magic, dread omens, and dragons. The dragons in this series are fairly explicitly based on dinosaurs and several of the characters are Sars - who you might think of as dinosaur-riding samurai. Once I realised that we had dinosaur-riding samurai I was pretty much bought in, not going to lie. There is also a lot of queerness in these books - two of the perspective characters are husbands and one of the central locations has a culture that recognises five genders ("they're more likely to knife you in a street fight than misgender you") and finds it weird that other people don't. There are several romantic threads but from what I recall only one of them is straight. Finally, having finished the series, I can confidently say that it sticks the landing in a very fun way. If you enjoy the first book, you can read the rest of the series with confidence. There are epic battles and grand conflicts but there are also plenty of moments when characters are seeking, and often finding, clever ways to prevent violence. We joke about the real magic being the friends you meet along the way, but actually stories about learning to live and work together are pretty great, it turns out. Especially if they've also got dinosaur-riding samurai.

for the oc thing you probably don't even have to guess when it comes to me, but i just felt like stating

Perseus

i need you to know i almost tagged that post with "I feel like Perseus is the obvious answer"

so many people want to smooch/bang Perseus, it's not even funny. how does that dishevelled, depressed bitch manage to consistently pull? his dark circles, swagless charm and penchant for getting covered in his own blood have bewitched many a heart and soul.

#ch: perseus #i also want it known that i went into my folder of perseus art and found the time i drew him as a dilf #i've found so many old sketches that never saw the light of day. like the godbreaker sketch. woof woof bark bark bark.

The God-King Chronicles- Mike Brooks

Genre: Fantasy LGBTQ+ Rep.: demigirl MC, nonbinary MC, gay MCs, bi MC, lesbian SCs, mlm relationships, wlw relationships, xlx relationship CW: violence, war, homophobia, death (inc. parent), blood/injury, sexism, suicide, xenophobia, grief, murder, transphobia, fire, alcohol

Plot: When the citizens of Black Keep see ships on the horizon, they fear the worst. But the Tjakorshi aren't coming to raid, they're seeking refuge from a powerful, evil force that has claimed their land. Meanwhile, a young princess keeps up a dangerous pastime to protect her brother's rulem and a thief makes a powerful friend.

Why I'd recommend this series: This series is everything that high fantasy should be— creative, complex, and exciting, with spectacular worldbuilding and dragons. Despite all the different plot lines, I never felt confused or overwhelmed, instead, I was only excited to find out what would happen next. I also loved how Brooks used the medium of high fantasy to explore different attitudes towards gender and sexuality.

🎤 - An audio transcript from a recording (preferably about this Maladrakos)

[Recorded at: 5:30 PM, 5th of June, 2020, by Dr. Giannis Megalos]

Maladrakos has finally woken up from its stasis after creation. It is... exceedingly violent and unable to be placated by food, although I suppose the wild aggression is to be expected of a Pokemon with DNA from both Salamence and Hydreigon. Still, it refuses to stay within the Ultra Ball meant to house it... we might have to find an alternate means of containing it so it doesn't destroy the lab.

I'm really not sure why the boss wanted this to be the first of the Godbreakers; sure it was a success, but that won't mean anything if it destroys us. It may be best to force it back into stasis for now.

As the Black Keep Council prepares for war, journeying far to protect their lands and friend, The God-King and his sister try to keep Narida together in the face of betrayal while the Splinter King remains at large. The Golden and his hordes of raiders press their advantage and sweep across the land with unholy powers. Sacrifices will be made, and not everyone will make it back to Black Keep alive.

I raced through the series and now I'm directly reviewing the third and not-so-final book. Mike Brooks' The Godbreaker is not, unfortunately, a good conclusion for a trilogy that started so strong and with such unique storytelling, with its nuanced focus on diplomacy. It's a shame, because the story is still so interesting, and the queer characters are a delight to explore.

There's an established mlm couple whose back-and-forth is frankly amazing, a really cute mlm relationship taking its first steps, and a whiff of an unexpected wlw relationship. The world-building is incredibly interesting, and the big surprise event at the beginning of the third book was adequately forewarned, in retrospect.

But one can't help feeling cheated by the cop-outs, the fake ending, and all the time focused on a sub-plot that should definitely have been a separate novella, given it doesn't seem to affect the main plot at all. This book feels chaotic, and not in a good way. It feels as if Brooks had the material for a quadrilogy but decided to make it a trilogy and create a new series after this one, but there are huge gaps and events that feel forced, just to create a sort of adequate conclusion.

The God-King Chronicles is an intriguing series, but The Godkiller doesn't stick the landing.

✨ 3.5 stars

13th Labor

Hercules had Jaune by the throat and pulled him closer to him with a wicked Grin, "I can see why Lord Kronos is cautious of you, but you have nothing on me! I am the greatest Demigod to live!" Hercules cried.

Jaune glared at him and spit in his face as he tried to break free from the immortal hero.

Hercules wiped the spit off his face and his smile grew as he looked at Jaune. "I'm gonna kill the Percy boy as well as Hades's brats, then that hunter, Zoe, as for that Thalia girl, I'm gonna rip her limb from limb, and then there's that daughter of yours... I'm gonna bash her little skull in and make you watch!" He cried.

Hearing all of this, and hearing the threat to his daughter's life as well as his friends, Jaune's Aura boosted so high that Jaune managed to cause a stinging sensation to the son of Zeus' arm, which caused him to let go of the young knight, and when Jaune was free, he pulled his fist back and punched Hercules in the face.

Hercules's entire head felt as if it had been shaken around as he backed up in a daze.

Meanwhile, Jaune roared before slowly coming back down from his anger and breathing slowly.

Hercules, despite still feeling shaken, smiled at Jaune, "That's what I was looking for, now I see it... there you are... there's the man Godbreaker"

Jaune glared at him and quickly grabbed his sword and looked at Hercules, ready to continue the fight, Hercules did the same, grabbing his sword and looking at Jaune with a sinister smile.

"Let's get this over with," Jaune said with a glare.

Hercules smiled, "That eager to see lord Hades?" He asked.

they say the godbreaker ascended once their celestial quarries were vanquished, in a halo of golden light... the sun so blinding as to turn their eagle's wings black; and so the warrior passed from our world and into another...

The God-King Chronicles by Mike Brooks

(The Black Coast, The Splinter King, The Godbreaker)

The Black Coast is the start of a series filled with war-dragons, armoured knights, sea-faring raiders, dangerous magic and battle scenes.

When the citizens of Black Keep see ships on the horizon, terror takes them, for they know who is coming: for generations, Black Keep has been raided by the fearsome clanspeople of Iwernia. Saddling their war dragons, the Naridans rush to defend their home only to discover that the clanspeople have not come to pillage at all. 

Driven from their own homeland by the rise of a daemonic despot who prophesies the end of the world, they have come in search of a new home. Meanwhile the wider continent of Narida is lurching toward war. Black Keep is about to be caught in the cross-fire of the coming war for the world – if only its new mismatched society can survive.

Genres: fantasy, romance
