About this audiobook
Book One of The Godlanders War trilogy.
Even for a charismatic pirate, three years is a long time to chase after an unimaginable treasure hidden in the ruins of an ancient city. But when the fabled riches turn out to be virtually worthless, the outraged crew mutinies and leaves their former captain for dead.
He is rescued by a mysterious king and transported back to a time of dwarves, druids, and fairies. Enchanting as it is, though, his only wish is to return home and find justice—but only the king has the power to return him . . . for a price.
Aided by a new and motley group of mystical creatures and misfits, he sets out on his quest, ultimately getting caught up in a war he wants nothing to do with—and in the process changing the course of history itself.
The Dreams of a Dying God is an action-packed, richly imagined adventure fantasy from the author of The Dragonprince trilogy.
Previously published as Oberon’s Dreams.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this book enough to give it 3.5 stars if i could.
The dialogue is well written, and the plot is interesting. The characters, while not the most three dimensional, are at least memorable and sympathetic. The plot, after beginning close to expectations, veers off in an unforseen and strange direction. While I ultimately enjoyed the tale, I harbor a personal wariness of time travel, alternate dimensions, and the collision of these two things. Overall the author handles the weirdest plot elements he introduces well, but I feel the book could have been just as interesting without some of the more outrageous elements. Bot, as this book is a fantasy, ultimately this comes down to my own tastes and preferences.
In all, this book is enjoyable, but definitely for established fans of the genre1 person found this helpful
