Representaion Conducive To Books Silent Pantheon
Healer. Teacher. Gravedigger. Mother. Trickster.
They live among us, performing the duties that once made them gods. Their names are whispers, drowned out by a single, mighty voice. They live under it, finding solace in the work and with each other, pretending not to remember the times when their songs were sung.
But times are changing again. And darkness is rising.
Those that have forgotten them will call for them again. But when they call, will these forgotten beings from distant lands heed it? Or will they abandon those who forgot their songs?
Come take a first look at a world where myth and faith live together. Where those that are forgotten will choose between duty and anger. Where mankind will once again speak the names of the SILENT PANTHEON.

The Silent Pantheon is a real box of tricks with a lot of moving parts in play. Epic Fantasy rarely takes form in contemporary fiction, but Nierstedt does a fantastic job of transforming our pre-conceptions of the genre and presenting it with a compelling modern-day twist. The characters are immediately intriguing and carry the story along perfectly, and with so many surprises along the way I felt every chapter had given me more than the one before.A great read from an author Ill now beI thoroughly enjoyed this book. Mr, Nierstedt took the phrase "God is a jealous God" and turned it on its ear. The title doesn't offer as much to the story as that beautiful cover does. Five Gods walk the earth amongst the people as humans always helping where they can with none of the recognition that they deserve and without ever revealing their truths. This book really has it all. There is a lot of mythology and an epic battle with just a smidge of romance thrown in the pot. I will be waiting
I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. I was first drawn in by the cover. I love it!! Whoever designed this cover did an amazing job!!Next I was drawn in by the story. I really liked the interplay between the characters. The gods each have their own voice and the author does a good job of keeping them distinct. Given that the characters each have two names and are sometimes referred to in other ways I would have loved a cheat sheet at the beginning. I didn't find it too
Yes!!! This book was absolutely amazing! It is the first of a series, fingers crossed. Five gods of old walk amongst us. They represent the oldest and strongest pantheons around. There is Balder, Athena, Anubis, Coyote and Kali Ma. They struck a bargain with Yahweh that needs to be reworked because the end of days has arrived. There are twists and turns, miracles , life lessons, Jesus, Yahweh and angels. This book is a mythology fan and Christian's dream. I wait patiently for part 2.
In the afterword, the author states he wanted a blend of American Gods and The Avengers. I think he achieved this and more. The beginning was a bit slow, setting up the characters, and so it took a little bit for me to get into it. However, once it reached the climax, wow! It is important to remember that this is a work of fiction. I feel that the author did a great job of depicting "what if" without stepping over any religious lines. There is one section that I feel is important to keep in mind

I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalleyactual rating: 3.5I wasn't sure exactly what to expect going into this but ended up being pleasantly surprised. I think there will be obvious comparisons to American Gods - especially with the author making the bizarre choice to include quotes from both Gaiman and Pratchett at the beginning of each section of the book - but really only the base premise is the same and this book goes in a different direction fairly quickly. Definitely could use a
