Deathless (Annals of the God Eater, #1) By Rob J. Hayes
Deathless ops destiny 2
I m really starting to love Rob J Hayes He s a badass story teller I started with DEMON also God eater series but the one set 3000 years before because I wanted to read this in chronological order It s just my preferred method Anyways DEMON was phenomenal and began the entire God Eater story explaining how things got started I immediately moved on to DEATHLESS which is book 1 of the second trilogy Now DEATHLESS was also great but it s a different type of story which I really enjoyed It s a little political but it does an amazing job of filling in a lot of blanks The world building here is even incredible and really makes you rethink a lot of what you learned in DEMON As you might know Hayes is putting out 3 trilogies to cover this entire world All 3 book 1 s were just released and these are the 3 I started with Upon finishing DEMON book 1 and then DEATHLESS book 1 I m on to the final book 1 called HERALD I can t wait for the 3 book 2 s to come out next All 3 of these trilogies are going to be phenomenal Fantasy Science Fiction Congrats to Deathless for being the winner of The Most Abrupt Ending of the Year My Kindle said I had 31mins left and then it ended I was so shocked for it to end on that specific point Obviously major segue to the next book but it was still jarring. Book death note I didn t enjoy this one quite as much as Demon it was a totally different setup and vibe but I did like way this one developed and ended It was much political and I really loved the characters As with Demon I m really looking forward to how this continues in book 2 Fantasy Science Fiction This is the second book in the first trilogy I have read after Demon and I enjoyed this one . Deathless the city's thirst free download pc While Demon focuses on the storyline of the human race Deathless primarily focuses on the storyline of a King who is dying and feeling he is losing control of his own kingdom to Angels. Science Fiction deathless visage I really enjoy political fantasy when it s done well think ASOIAF and this was done well Rob has really filled in a gap here in our knowledge of what the world is like between humans and Angels at least 1000 years ago and I can t wait to see where this specific storyline goes because I feel that there could be some very shocking twists. Deathless visage d4 Despite being a novella I felt this packed in a lot of character development and some minor world building I really liked hearing and learning about the Angels and it s clear to me that Moon will be a fan favourite for all the right reasons. Deathless manga I m on to Herald next which is the main storyline set 1000 years after this and while I can see where this trilogy is headed Annals of the Godeater I don t have a clue what the main storyline will involve which is exciting in its own right Fantasy Science Fiction Let the feast begin Damn that was dark political fantasy at its finest absolutely gripping stuff from start to finish I love all of Rob J Hayes works but this might be his best writing in my opinion This GodEater series is truly tremendous Deathless is the first book in Annals Of The GodEater and the series will be three trilogies set over 3000 years from the Demon wars the fall of heaven and an empires will to stamp out all divinity and heresy from the world all together I knew when I first saw these books being advertised for a kickstarter that I had to be a part of it After reading the synopsis you just knew these books were going to be epic and as usual Rob J Hayes did not disappoint with his master storytelling Deathless takes place 1000 years before the main trilogy and the first book Herald It is short read and is packed full of wonderful political intrigue family drama and characters that draw you in and emerses you into the world of the Sant Dien Empire and Heaven Rob J Hayes continues to create amazing dark worlds To continue to weave amazing stories one after the other is a gift and he just keeps on giving With his fantastic worldbuilding his plot twist holds no bounds and the writing is just exquisite Ertide is King of the Sant Dien Empire He is old sick and dying The Hoistain dynasty has ruled for 2000 years after the demon wars but only by God s will Ertide is tired of God s will and the angels divinity over them and something needs to change When darks secrets and uncovered a secret that could save his life and give him immortality plots and schemes start to unfold and there is no going back when first blood is spilt Things are about to get dark and bloody War is coming and Heaven best be ready. Deathless wad The Hoistain Empire will never be the same again Wow absolutely fantastic reading I very highly recommend that you check out this series when it s released on You won t regret it Fantasy Science Fiction This review was originally published on Before We Go BlogHoly smokes Rob J Hayes has done it again Brimming with cutthroat political intrigue complex family dynamics twisted truths and morally questionable actions Deathless is a deliciously diabolical take on a dark political fantasy. Deathless Science fictionmanai Set 2000 years after the events of Demon but 1000 years before the events of Herald this book kicks off the middle trilogy in the epic God Eater Saga Through the eyes of the ailing King Ertide we get an intimate glimpse into the Hostain dynasty the family that has ruled over the Sant Dien Empire for millennia And for those who have read Demon yes those names should indeed ring a bell. Deathless booking The main focus of the narrative is the succession crisis that King Ertide finds himself embroiled in The angels have demanded that he abdicates his throne yet for a variety of reasons none of his five children seem suitable to be named heir Add to that the fact that Ertide s faith has been waning over the years and the tension and stakes soon rise to ungodly heights. Deathless skeleton commander While I can see how some people might find the pacing of Deathless to be a bit too slow I personally really enjoyed the intimate and introspective nature of this narrative We really get to dive deep into Ertide s troubled psyche offering riveting inner turmoil that both fascinated and frightened me in equal measure Plus I was honestly eating up all the tumultuous familial drama between the multiple generations of Hostains especially because the characterisation for each individual family member was so ridiculously strong. Deathless visage in fantasy Moreover there s a truly riveting air of mystery and intrigue woven into the narrative and I truly could not stop turning the pages to uncover hidden truths Themes of religion faith ambition corruption and the twisting of history are explored in a way I have never seen before bringing a level of depth and nuance to this novel that is honestly astounding for its shorter pagecount. Deathless skeleton commander I was also absolutely glued to the page by the presence and role of the angels in this story and I loved that these children of God are not presented as a monolithic community Especially the eccentric angel Moon really captured my heart and I loved the complex dynamic between him and King Ertide All of these characters are constantly tiptoeing the dangerously thin line between good and evil making Deathless a masterclass in how to explore moral ambiguity in a morbidly fascinating way Now much as I loved the slow build up of tension and tantalising unveiling of ancient hidden truths I do think the resolution was a bit rushed compared to the slow set up Don t get me wrong the actual climax itself was bloody shocking in the best way possible but I feel like some of the emotional impact was lost in how quickly everything escalated and then exploded. Kindle deathless book Fortunately this is only the first instalment in the Annals of the God Eater trilogy and one of the nine instalments in the wider God Eater Saga so there is tons of potential to explore the true horrors and world shattering implications of the brutal actions at the end in much depth in the rest of the series And you better bet I am counting down the days until we get the continuation of this story because this ending left me hungering for in the best way possible. Deathless visage With Deathless Hayes once again proves that he is a masterful storyteller and a straight up genius bastard The God Eater Saga is already shaping up to be one of the most epic and visionary fantasy series I have ever read and I truly cannot recommend it highly enough. EBook deathless This review is based on the Kickstarter edition Deathless will be available for general sale on July 9 2024 Fantasy Science Fiction Okay these are sooo good Fantasy Science Fiction This review was originally posted on SFF Insiders. Deathless queen kneel 5 stars rounded upWhen Rob J Hayes first announced the God Eater Saga I had no doubt in my mind that the sum of its parts would equal a truly unique and tremendous epic Having recently read Demon the first chronological book in the saga my expectations going into Deathless the first of the Annals of the God Eater trilogy were very high And while it did not reach the same heights as Demon this entry is still highly enjoyable and is only further cementing that this saga is going to be a modern day classic. Deathless visage d4 Set one thousand years before the events of the main trilogy Deathless follows King Ertide Hostain the monarch of the Sant Dien Empire For millennia the Empire has stood alongside angels to defend its borders in accordance with the will of God However for all his heroics in his younger years Ertide is now an old man inching nearer and nearer to death and the angels much to his chagrin are pulling him along on strings to satisfy God s will and pushing him to abdicate his throne and name on of his children as heir to the empire But things are never so simple and when the veil covering the relationship between humanity and angels is lifted from Ertide s eyes he has no choice but to question his faith and seek out how to cut the strings that have long pulled him along. Deathless visage diablo 4 At its core Deathless is a political fantasy Running in the background for much of the book is the question of who Ertide is going to name as his heir However none of his five children are suitable to succeed him for a variety of reasons from disinterest in ruling to arrogance to madness and the insistence of the angels for him to abdicate his throne only exacerbates the issue While this plotline felt a bit rushed and the payoff ultimately feeling an afterthought the dynamic of family politics was explored quite well Royal succession is an interesting affair in this book where the first in line does not want the throne and wants only to fight while the youngest in the line of succession may be the best suited but naming him as heir would be an unwanted disruption. Deathless raid With this in the background at the forefront lies the conspiracy of what the angels are hiding from humanity There is a secret to the power the angels hold over them but few are those who Ertide believes he can entrust it to. Book deaths door There s a slow build up to everything until it all erupts at the end but after the relentless pace of Demon Deathless feels a bit of a meander in comparison It s not bad by any means mind and the pieces are placed on the board well However for the shorter length of the book I felt the ratio of set up to payoff was a bit skewed toward the set up and the payoff did not last nearly long enough for me to fully appreciate it and let it sink in. Deathless fantasypros This would be of an issue though if the main cast did not lift Deathless up their shoulders as well as they did Ertide is a fascinating and unique lead one of the first terminally ill elderly protagonists I ve encountered in an epic fantasy work and his relationship with his eccentric angel companion Moon his interactions with his children and grandchildren the marital obligations with his young wife they are all enough to make this a page turner even when the story is at a slow crawl This is a consistent strength in Hayes books and it is no different here in Deathless I believe there s also a lift given to Deathless by having read Demon first While much of the references to the first chronological novel are of an Easter egg variety the conspiratorial nature of the Deathless plot was enough to make me reflect on the events of Demon and think on what had happened in the intervening millennia What became of the relationship between humanity and Heaven How much of history will be rewritten Hayes has spoken at length of getting the whole picture by reading each individual piece of this segmented saga and I think doing so made Deathless that much enjoyable for me. Deathless visage Overall Deathless feels like a foundational book It s a very enjoyable one but it takes a bit too much time getting to where it wants to go but where it s going to take off from here I truly cannot wait to see Fantasy Science Fiction I decided to read the trilogy of trilogy series in chronological order of all the book ones So I have already read Demon reading this one but haven t read Herald yet I enjoyed this one just not as much as I enjoyed demon This one does have a slow start You don t really understand the over arching point of this story until about 50% in which made it drag a little for me But as soon as I understood I was like OOOHHHH YES I loved the character work that was put down in this And I loved seeing the Hostain blood line All the little Easter eggs to demon and probably a lot of hints to herald were so fun I m not sure I would have enjoyed this one as a series on its own But as part of this epic world and series I thought it was interesting Fantasy Science Fiction Deathless is the second book 1 sequentially of Rob Hayes ambitious three trilogy Godeater series It has a vastly different tone than Demon which I read just previous to Deathless While Demon focused on the common man s struggle against an invading horde Deathless picks up 1000 years later telling the story of Ertide a king nearing the end of his reign and his life As Ertide s rule draws to a close he wrestles with his legacy and where the power truly lies Immortal angels who claim to follow God s will heavily influence most of Ertide s decrees through his lifetime The angels have immense power and Ertide has had little choice in following Heaven s plan lest he be named a heretic But when new information about the history of humans and angels come to light is there anything Ertide can do to change the balance of power There are many characters introduced in this novel and much of it feels like table setting for bigger events to come then an exciting and game changing conclusion has me fired up to continue this timeline s story It asks as many questions as it answers and I m excited to see of what Hayes overarching vision is for this massive saga This series is a lot of fun intriguing mysterious sprawling and has some excellent action scenes Highly recommend you checking this out Starting Herald in 5 4 3 Fantasy Science Fiction 4. Deathless legacy First I will repeat what I said in my review for Demon The God Eater Saga by Rob J Hayes is a big series divided into three trilogies Herald is the first book in Age of the God Eater trilogy Deathless is the first book in Annals of the God Eater trilogy and it takes place a thousand years before the events of Herald Finally Demon is the first book in Archive of the God Eater trilogy and the story begins three thousand years before the events of Herald These three surmised the first phase of The God Eater Saga by Rob J Hayes Hayes wrote the three first volumes concurrently and he s currently writing the second phase of The God Eater Saga the respective sequel to these three books A civilisation is lost not when the messages of our heroes are forgotten but when they are corrupted When we are led by those with the loudest voices rather than those with the keenest minds When learning is ridiculed and ignorance lauded Although I am not following the recommended reading order of The God Eater Saga which is to read Herald Deathless and Demon in that order I must say Rob J Hayes has done a superb job in making sure each first book in a series worked as a standalone or a suitable starting point If you read Deathless after reading Herald I have no doubt your reading experience of this 70000 words long short novel will differ from mine But in my case I read Demon first and I can confidently say that I do not regret reading the saga in chronological order Not one bit It s the other way around I have read Demon but I haven t read Herald and I believe my reading experience of Deathless was elevated because of it I have a feeling Herald will explain the events that happened in Deathless and will spoil the elements of surprise When faith becomes religion and worship is enforced with threat and fear morality actual suffers in the shadow of morality implied Two thousand years have passed since the origin story of Dien Hostain in Demon started In Deathless we follow the story of King Ertide Hostain who was once known as the legendary Crimson Prince He fought side by side with angels and pegasi and defended the Sant Dien Empire against monsters But his pact with Heaven has become strained He has grown old his body rots and nearing his death he has yet to choose which of his squabbling princes will be his heir The Hostain dynasty has ruled over the empire for millennia but when Ertide finds cryptic notes from his dead father he realizes not all is as it seems Has history been rewritten And if so what is Heaven hiding Do the people serve the king or does the king serve the people Consider the circle Strong and flexible but a single break in the line and the structure falls apart Therefore it might be better to say The people DO serve the king so that the king MAY serve the people Immortality has a price and it is paid in blood If Demon is a survival and origin story of Dien Hostain Deathless is a political epic fantasy story that depicts the genesis of the Godless Kings who took their war to Heaven It will require a bit of time to get used to the many names of the Hostain family Ertide is the sole POV character of Deathless and most of the main supporting characters in this novel unless certain revelations are revealed in later books are descendants of Dien Hostain the main character of Demon In my opinion The Hostain dynasty is starting to become one of the most fascinating fictional families brimming with potential for intricacies and family tree explorations I have ever read In a way reading the story of the Hostain family in Demon and Deathless reminded me of the Targaryen from A Song of Ice and Fire or Radagon s family in Elden Ring video game I have yet to read Herald and I am already sad I will be done with the first phase of The God Eater Saga soon So many faces here I recognize And just as many I don t I m sorry about that I wish I d spent time getting to know you all But ours is a broad family A tree with roots as deep as the world and branches than rivers feeding the World Vein The Hostain blood runs strong in us all The blood of the Saint who forged humanity into an empire The blood of rulers who have held us all together and brought us prosperity and wisdom and strength Ertide Hostain and his descendants especially Rikkan Mertred Caran Emrik and Arandon are some of the most memorable characters in Deathless As I mentioned give yourself time to adjust to the many names quickly forwarded to the reader But once you get the bearing of who s who and their respective crucial role in the narrative I guarantee you it will be a challenge to put Deathless down The first half is basically the calm before the storm moments Hayes needed this section to efficiently establish the build up before the explosive second half And the payoff is utterly brilliant I read the second half of Deathless in one sitting The scheming the manipulations the revelations and the brutal confrontations of ideals wishes freedom and greed made Deathless a thoroughly engaging read with a satisfying ending The angel of the First Age Orphus and the Fourth Age Oronesus are involved in the plotlines when compared to Demon It was an incredible experience to read and learn about the world building and history Hayes has prepared for The God Eater Saga with each book And I cannot wait to read of it History is mutable written not by the hand of relevance but instead by those with ink to spare Because this is a short novel I will not take too much of your time reading this review Deathless is a blaze of glory that became one of the author s best works to date I wholeheartedly recommend Demon and Deathless Hayes is brewing something special with The God Eater Saga And to think that I haven t even read the main novel of the saga Herald yet However after reading Demon Deathless and The Mortal Techniques series I already feel secure in proclaiming Rob J Hayes as one of my favorite fantasy authors The magnificent tale of greed ambition power faith and fall from grace in Deathless is bound in blood I have a strong instinct that the repercussions of the vermillion actions in Annals of the God Eater even when the second and third phase of the saga is not written yet will seep into Age of the God Eater series I am ready for Herald.
