Against All Gods - by Miles Cameron - BEFOREWEGOBLOG Review - Against All Gods - by Miles Cameron - BEFOREWEGOBLOG

Christian Cameron (otherwise known by pen names that include Miles Cameron, and Gordon Kent) is one of my all-time favourite authors. Still, the ruler of the gods likes his carnal pleasures, and fiendishly delights in pain to those who oppose him. Cameron’s vivid descriptions make the reader feel like they are living in the time when gods walked the earth, bred mortals, and made half-god children. Gorged on sex, violence, and vanity, and filled with all the human insecurities, weaknesses, and downright pitiful self-absorption, these gods are anything but magnanimous and worthy of veneration.The tyranny of the gods is absolute, and they are capricious, malevolent and almost all-powerful, playing cruel games with the fates of mortals for their own ends . But they also have heart, complex motivations, and most are at least somewhat morally grey, save for the Harkans, who I found to be very noble overall. When Cameron offered me the incredible opportunity to receive an Advanced Reading Copy of his upcoming new fantasy release, “Against All Gods” (Book One in “The Age of Bronze Series”), in exchange for an honest review, I could not type, “Yes, please! The transcendental cliff of the Divine Mount of Mystery is one of the most dangerous and deadly areas of the Cote d’Azur Continent. There’s a real feel of the classic fantasy ensemble story, but with a fresh and engaging perspective on the genre which blends mythology, historical accuracy and a modern tone of voice.

But the mortals are tired of the game, and the bravest among them, aspire to overthrow the gods, and be free from their despotism.

I fear a “here’s the new boss, same as the old boss” outcome, if any of the humans manage to remain alive by the end of the series. For me, every book begins with the characters, and the characters in this book were absolutely fabulous. To celebrate the arrival of Maz Evans’ latest masterpiece, VI SPY: LICENCE TO CHILL, and to maybe lend a helping hand to all of you teaching at the moment (both professionally and other!

There are a lot of characters in play here (as evidenced by the four-page dramatis personae at the beginning), but Cameron largely keeps to four point of view characters – an aged magos out for revenge, a grieving dancer acclimatising to an unexpected responsibility, a young scribe coming to terms with betrayal and a broader truth, and a cynical warrior uncomfortably aware that he’s past his best. All told this is a brilliant introduction to a vivid, fascinating world and a series that promises to only grow in scope, excitement and intrigue – a great first book that leaves you wanting more.Bronze age technology, marauding cannibalistic tribes, horrifying monsters, half-god / half-human offspring of the gods, indiscriminate liaisons with mortals running rampant, and hey – A REALLY DANGEROUS DRAGON, what more could you want? Some mortals cling to their worship of the gods, despite the evidence plainly in their face all along that the gods were detestable. Once this happens, and the humans open their eyes to how badly the gods behave, it seems war is unavoidable, because without mutual respect, neither party can value the lives of the other. Your heart will beat faster with every sword stroke, or blast of magic, as you wring your hands over the fate of your favourite characters, and are stupified by the level of realism Cameron brings to a fight scene. A huge theme is whether or not humans have been tricked all their lives, ascribing virtue to gods who are by no means worthy of such adoration.

Its not bad its definitely a decent manhua the only problem is the upload schedule is challenging as I want to try the light novel, however I don’t think I will be able to do that. Because, as we have learned throughout history, absolute power can corrupt absolutely (or “eternally” as the cover of the book notes), as the saying goes.

The combination of ambitious, politicking gods with their plans within plans, and mortals learning to imagine a world without gods, makes for an engaging plot that, once it gets up to speed, delivers action and excitement aplenty along with some great questions around the mortals/gods dynamic. Miles Cameron’s brilliantly-titled Against All Gods kicks off his Age of Bronze cycle, a new historical fantasy series set (as the name suggests) in a Bronze Age-inspired world populated by mortals, monsters and bickering, manipulative gods. Scheming, megalomaniacal, utterly egotistical gods, caring for nothing but their own pleasures, indulgences, and cruelties, and holding onto and increasing that power, at the expense of all other life, and using mortals as their pawns.
