Ring Side Report-Book Review-Pathfinder: Godsrain

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Author– Liane Merciel

Book- ~$24.99 here https://paizo.com/products/btq06j6k?Pathfinder-Godsrain 

TL; DR– Solidly for the fans, maybe too much. 87%

Basics-Gods can’t die…except when they do!  The god of war is murdered and it kicks off a series of events that might result in the death of them all!  Can iconic Pathfinder characters stop the death of every god? 

Characters– This book uses iconic pathfinder characters and follows them on a typical, world shattering adventure.  This is the first book I’ve read featuring these characters.  The iconics all feel like they should and are well written.  The one issue I have is the book feels like it was written with only diehard Pathfinder fans as the audience.  Readers who don’t know these characters from playing Pathfinder Society might be a bit lost.  I enjoyed it, but some newer fans might be lost.  4.5/5

 Setting– This book features a number of iconic Pathfinder Society locations, but has the same issues as the characters.  This book is pretty world spanning as characters run from desert, to Pirate Cove, to Lost Island in an eternal hurricane.  The places are well described, but are not as linked to a larger world or history as newer readers might need.  It’s good but some readers might get lost if they don’t know these locations from the Pathfinder game.  4.5/5

 Story-The story is good, but feels disjointed.  The main event of the title is the death of a god, but then that is just kind of abandoned.  I felt like that was important and might be the main threat in multiple novels after this one.  The main story is more about the threat that a different god might have to all other gods.  That’s intriguing, but a major event in the world happens, and then is just kind of abandoned.  It’s a plot point, but not a major one. I felt like there was lost potential and that that main event was just abandoned. 4/5

 Summary-This is a good book and a fun step back into the Pathfinder Tales.  I want more books, so I’m glad this book exists.  It’s not perfect; the novel might not have enough inroads for new readers to Pathfinder.  Also, the title feels abandoned about a quarter of the way into the book.  I want to know more about the Godsrain, but this book won’t tell you about it.  If more novels focus on that and these characters, I’ll keep reading!   87%.
