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)
