Synopsis

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 . . .

A vibrant and powerful epic set against an alternate Bronze Age, this tale of gods, men and monsters, conspiracy and war, is a rich, compelling and original read from a master of the historical and fantasy genres. The people caught up in toils of the gods are merely trying to survive. Victims of vicious whims, trapped by their circumstances or pushed beyond what the mortal frame can bear, a handful of god-touched mortals - a scribe, a warlord, a dancer and a child - are about to be brought together in a conspiracy of their own.

A conspiracy to reach the heavens, and take down the corrupt and aging gods . . . who are already facing troubles of their own . . .

An epic which draws on the Greek mythology of gods and heroes, this new trilogy is a must read for fans of Dan Simmons and Madeline Miller alike.

Goodreads review by P.L.

Scheming, megalomaniacal, utterly egotistical gods, caring for nothing but their own pleasures, indulgences, and cruelties, and holding onto and increasing power, at the expense of all other life, and using mortals as their pawns. But the mortals are tired of the game, and the bravest among them, as......more

I was sent a copy of this book by the publisher for an honest review. Against All Gods is the first book in The Age of Bronze series from Miles Cameron. It should be an explosive story about mortals clashing with gods but unfortunately this fell short of the mark. 2.5 (rounded up to 3) I'm a fan of The......more
