A Time of Dread
A Time of Dread | John Gwynne
15 posts | 10 read | 26 to read
Acclaimed epic fantasy author John Gwynne with the first book of a new trilogy. The Ben-Elim, a race of warrior angels, once vanquished a mighty demon horde. Now they rule the Banished lands. But their dominion is brutally enforced and their ancient enemy may not be as crushed as they thought. In the snowbound north, Drem, a trapper, finds mutilated corpses in the forests - a sign of demonic black magic. In the south, Riv, a young, tempestuous soldier, discovers a deadly rift within the Ben-Elim themselves. Two individuals with two world-changing secrets. But where will they lead? And what role will Drem and Riv play in the Banished Land's fate? Difficult choices need to be made. In the shadows, dark forces are gathering, waiting for their time to rise. . .

Loved this. Enjoyed the earlier series and this is a flash forward new series a century later.

Mehso-so

Finished my first #newyearwhodis book, which also happened to my #bookspin this month. I like the concept of it a lot, but there were too many POVs for me and not enough stakes to want to continue with the series. Been awhile since I read some fantasy though and it was nice to read against all of my nonfiction.
Book 1 for #joyousjanuary and #slumpathon

monalyisha That‘s a positive spin! Good variety, at least? 3y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3y
jinxmoon Too bad you didn‘t like it as much. But I can understand. There‘s quite a lot going on with quite many people and you have to really like and enjoy them to love the book. 3y
Hestapleton @jinxmoon I am working on the tagged and ADORING it. 3y

First day of #joyousjanuary and day two of #slumpathon features a true winter morning! We woke up to some snow in Indiana, so I‘m cozying up with all my books, coffee, and the Narnia soundtracks in the background. My goal for #joyousjanuary is to read at least 235 pages a day, but I‘m really hoping to finish the tagged and make a good dent in MIDNIGHT IN CHERNOBYL today. Here‘s to a weekend full of books and ZERO interruptions!

TheAromaofBooks It's snowing here in Ohio as well, although not as much as I want it to! 😂 3y

Digging into my first #newyearwhodis book from the lovely @jinxmoon while my dinner cooks. Still getting oriented in the world, but I‘m definitely interested to see where it goes!

The kind of Saturday where I sprawl out, don't leave the couch and just listen to music, drink coffee and consume books, manga, and comics all day sprinkled with some random anime episodes. 💯

Eyelit The best kind of Saturday! 3y

My older sister and I do not get along, that is the honest truth, there isn‘t a day that goes by when we are not screaming and fighting with one another. She never pays attention to anything I do or take interest in so we spend a lot of time avoiding one another. So the simple fact that she bought me 3 books from my book wishlist for Christmas was a surprise. I can‘t wait to read this trilogy next year!

Hestapleton I‘ve got the tagged on my list for January! 3y
Sweetkokoro @Hestapleton Ahh that‘s awesome! I still need to finish the series before this one since they connect but I am so excited to fully immerse myself in this world. 3y

Fantastic epic fantasy 👍🏻
If you like world building, battles, good v evil but very grey areas and brilliant characters these are for you!
Read the first series first though - honestly! This is set 100 years after. I don‘t know why Gwynne doesn‘t get the plaudits other fantasy authors get because he is a brilliant writer.

Melissa_J What book should I start with? I‘ve never read him. 6y
TrishB @Melissa_J this is the first one - I know you need some more for the tbr 😁 6y
Yeah_I_Read Yes!! I loved this and the first series was amazing 6y
