Most urban fantasy appeals to a younger audience so my first acknowledgment goes to the grittiness of this series. A small nitpick I have and I feel it’s become a running joke for me, the Wikipedia article level description of gods. We see this most often at introduction and I do wish it could be shared as dialogue more often. Thank you Zeke for your sometimes hard to believe level of mythical knowledge.That being said, this was a touching story with a number of twists and turns and a satisfying and honestly tear evoking end. You spend enough time with the characters that they truly become important and their deaths are tragic. Like watching your heroes and legends dying you’re left with a sense of true loss.I’d give the series a 4.5, there is work that could be helpful. Sometimes it’s comical the way the women are written. Mostly Pratha. I will never forget Zeke’s baggy cargo pants and Pratha’s completely form fitting sexy jungle outfit juxtaposed with each other.Regardless, I would recommend the book and I hope that Dyrk continues to hone his craft.A last note, I particularly enjoyed the writing of Baphomet. Truly a Shakespearean character. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the highest, fastest super colossal roller coaster at Cedar Point! *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020* This third book in the Paternus series, using ancient gods and goddesses of mythology, is a roller coaster ride of magnificent proportions. Basically, the plot is simple pitting good versus evil. The book is divided into three units, each developed to continue the story of Zeke and Fi, the primary characters around whom many strange events occur. Dyrk Ashton is obsessed with mythological creatures who come to life in his story devices. Paternus is the father of all living creatures who is discovered in the first book but who takes a backseat to his children in this third book. One of his first born children is his arch enemy who is determined to end the world and worlds to annihilate everything in existence. His other firstborn children who are the good guys in the story are developed in such a way as to oppose and to defeat the evil Khagan. (Satan)You would think that a work based upon myths in an attempt to describe the end of the world would be an easy read. Saying it is a roller coaster ride is an understatement. Ashton uses every known mythological character in this giant read. Oddly enough, his skill is in making them believable, likeable, and recognizable. Before you know it, you find yourself attached to each one of them, even the most hated, cruel, and despicable evil entities.The hellish descriptions of Khagan are reminders of the long term punishments that sinners will suffer if banished to hell. In fact, this fantasy novel uses religious beliefs in many ways but explains them when doing so. Torture does exist in times past and in the present, but his chapters that develop this aspect of life that good is trying to defeat are especially painful and hurtful. The cruelty is difficult to process for empathetic readers.It did make me realize that I focus on Heavenly thoughts more than evil thoughts. I liked realizing that as this book is very thoughtful spiritually. It is a love story with kindness, gentleness, tenderness, and many tear jerking moments. The drama is in the battle scenes where the roller coaster ride takes you into the most thrilling, stupendous, peaks, curves, and drops imaginable. It is nonstop for a dizzying long ride that finally does slow down to a most fulfilling conclusion that can be imagined.I am amazed at the depth of knowledge of the author. He is the real Zeke no doubt in my mind. Another geek! His characterization of Fi, the female heroine, is absolutely incredible. Such a beautiful soul!Highly recommend! This is a masterpiece! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really wish it were true. *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2020* I finished the LAST book in the trilogy. And I couldn't be happier. Well, yes I could. Because now I'm sad, that it's over.And that all those individuals that I have come to know and love, are fictional. They aren't real.Honestly, the world would better if there really were a Father (Peter), Pratha, Mrs. Mirskaya, Fi, Asterion, Zeke, and even Baphomet. Oh and Edgar, of course. And Mol. Especially Mol. (I could go on, of course.) They should all be real.But they aren't. They're part of Ashton's imagination. And part of mythology. Sadly.The last book of the trilogy was the biggest, longest, and most serious of the three. And while I could nitpick about it, I can't really. It left me feeling sad, wistful, longing maybe. And wishing it all were true.Was it a perfect ending? Probably not. There were some who died that really shouldn't have. And there were details I didn't like. But yet, that's how, honestly, it should be. Nothing ever ends exactly how we want it to. Never. In fiction, or in real life. So this was all, while not perfect, it was fitting. And correct.As just an indication how this left me, I have been listening to various recordings of Brian Boru's March, which was a part of the whole trilogy. And I like listening, knowing that the song is over a thousand years old. Yet Fi, Peter, and Zeke played it early on. And Lucifer played it later, and it fit. I really really want this song to be as it was portrayed in Paternus.I will probably read it again, in a few months. And when it's done, I will be sad all over again.Honestly, it's hard to believe this is Ashton's first series of books. It's probably not fair to put this series up there with books like The Lord of the Rings. Yet, it left me feeling similar to those. When it was over, I felt like something was "missing." He gave life to a universe of people that never existed before. But they do now, and always will. If not in real life, then in the hearts and minds of all those who read them. And I guess that will have to do. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/200301278-paternus-war-of-gods-the-paternus-trilogy-book-3](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/200301278-paternus-war-of-gods-the-paternus-trilogy-book-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
