Narration In Pursuance Of Books Dreams of Winter (A Sleeping Gods Tale #1)
Under the rigid guidance of the Conclave; an order of holy men seeking to bring back the glory of the time of the gods, the Order of the Inquisition and their Prekhauten Guard divisions the seven hundred known worlds carve out a new empire with the compassion and wisdom the gods once offered. But a terrible secret, known only to the most powerful, threatens to undo three millennia of progress. The gods are not dead at all. They merely sleep. And they are being hunted.Senior Inquisitor Tolde Breed is sent to the planet Crimeat to investigate the escape of one of the most deadly beings in the universe. Amongeratix, one of the three sons of the god-king is loose once again, the fabled Three. Tolde arrives on a world where heresy breeds insurrection and war is only a matter of time. Tolde is aided by Sister Abigail of the Order of Blood Witches in his quest to find Amongeratix and return him to Conclave custody before he can begin his reign of terror. What he doesn’t know is that the Three are already operating on Crimeat. Each serves a different emotion: Vengeance, Sorrow and Redemption. Their touch drives the various characters beyond themselves and towards an uncertain future that can only end one of two ways. Either the Three win and finally destroy the gods, or humanity stops them and continues to survive.

Dreams of Winter's story line revolves around the escape of a-thought to be dead by most-God of war, Amongeratix. Blood hungry, masochistic, and a bit upset at being imprisoned for several millenia, this isn't the sort of God you want running rampant in Crimeat. (The World we learn about in this fantasy tale). The God's brother, Tolde, searches for him before things become truly apocalyptic, but he himself has a pretty blood-thirsty mentality too...The trouble that two war-mongering Gods, and aA bristling journey into new possibilities North Carolina author Christian Warren Freed earned his degree in history from Campbell University and a Masters of Arts degree in Digital Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Dreams of Winter has many strong points. Freed clearly expended a great deal of effort in world-building and has created a complex and detailed set of worlds for his story with differing types of civilization and technology. Some planets chose to remain non-technological in nature, while others advanced to a level found in science fiction. The variation was surprising and engaging. Crimeat, the primary location for this book, is well-realized.Politics and governance cross worlds to maintain
This is my first story that Ive read by Freed, and I was impressed by the detailed multi-world-building done for this book (and, I assume, the series). Freeds background shines in here in this story in providing his world with a rich history. From what I can tell Freed has a good number of books out, and the way this book is written really shows that he is a veteran of the craft. The story isnt an uncommon one in reference to old gods. The old gods fight with each other in a power struggle. Once
DNF @ 7%I usually try to read longer than this (25% is my usual stopping point) but this was just ... so bad. Nothing made sense. It felt like the words were all there but werent actually telling a story. And the pacing was not great. I have no idea what the plot is and I dont care to know because this is not the book for me.
Well, I started this book and was quite excited for the first significant chunk. Its got a fairly thrilling beginning, with a monster bursting from the woods, and the language and descriptions used are often evocative, so there is a strong sense of place and the world building is clear and grand in scale. A ruling Conclave sits above worlds, along with a universe-wide Inquisition. Back in pre-historical times, there was a Clash-of-the-Titans style falling out between the Gods. One son of the
