Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Dawn of Swords (The Breaking World #1)

On the young world of Dezrel, brother gods Karak and Ashhur, fleeing their own failed world, recreate mankind in an attempt to make amends. The fledgling race of humanity is guided by the First Families, men and women who will not age so long as their hearts remain devoted to their deities.

But quickly the realms are thrown into chaos by the construction of the Temple of the Flesh, built by exiled children of Karak in the unclaimed land of Haven that lies between the two kingdoms. Those of the Temple refuse to bend knee to either god, no matter the risk. Thus comes Karak’s ultimatum to the people of Haven: destroy the Temple, or he will destroy it himself. But his fellow brother god, Ashhur, will not sit idly by while thousands of innocents die...

Can Jacob Eveningstar, the First Man to be given life and Ashhur’s most trusted servant, prevent the coming bloodshed which threatens the survival of the fledgling human race?

Criticism About Books Dawn of Swords (The Breaking World #1)

hate it when my dragon's morning breath crystal triggers a war between an innocent cult of swingers and the gods of ancient times

Well, that was a waste of time and money. If I wanted religion, I would have gone to church. Getting a refund. Left a bad taste.

This book was recommended to me based off of my other books I have read & I think it was a bad recommendation. The book is about 2 brother Gods that create their children that worship them. I'm not really into religion as a story all by itself. I prefer it as part of a culture. I thought this book was a sneaky attempt to convert me to Christianity but I could be wrong. It could be just a story. The characters were all extreme and by that I mean that all the personalities seemed over the top.

Bit of a slog really. Last hundred pages of the book only bit worth reading. Only reason i gave it three stars. Most of the characters were nothing more than caricatures really. Actually glad that most of them were killed off by the end of the book. Haven't read anything else by these authors so I didn't know that this is a pre-established world. However that being said, I'm content to never read anything else about this world and I hopefully wish that the forces of Velixar and Karak wipe out

The last 40% of Dawn of Swords is worth the price of admission (more on that in a moment). The first 60% was a struggle and since this is a 20 hour book, a long struggle. The book includes a cast of thousands (just joking, hundreds) and each are introduced in enough detail that I could pick them out of a police lineup. I kept wishing the authors would say, This person is ugly and an idiot, so lets move on, but I had to listen to a chapter or two or three to figure it out on my own.I did end up



Man, I'm really torn about this book. It's got some intriguing ideas that more or less begin to pay off (it's very obviously the first book in a series), a few genuine surprises and characters that you come to like a lot. There's a decent amount of world-building, and the world shows a lot of potential.That said, it suffers from TERRIBLE fantasy naming (a city called Safeway? A demon called Sluggoth? Give me a break), the writing is sometimes ham-fisted and clumsy, the authors develop a mean
