The God Eaters is a fantasy, an adventure and a romance that takes place in a totalitarian world that resembles the Old American West.

Kieran Trevarde is imprisoned in Churchrock for murder and Ashleigh Trine for rebellious activities against the government. Churchrock is a high security prison and laboratory for experimentation on those who have Talents. Kieran is a Ghoul Witch, with the ability to bring death upon others at will, and a stormcaller. Ashleigh is an empath. In this harsh and unfor...more

I found The God Eaters to be an enjoyable enough western style action-adventure, a good romance but only a so-so fantasy.

The romance is rather sweet and was the highlight of the story for me. Although, I must say that the purple prose inter-cutting the otherwise very demotic and slangy narrative was distracting and a little off-putting. I loved the character development in the story. I was especially taken with Ashleigh. He transforms from a naive, milquetoast kid to an intrepid, surefooted, se...more

Wow.
I wasn't sure what to really expect with this one, but was intrigued enough by the reviews and especially by the excerpt I read. I'm glad I went for it.

The God Eaters is an adventure story with a strong "love never gives up." What I really enjoyed in this story was how centered and grounded I was through the whole thing. Hajicek knew his world and never fumbled with the details. An example I can share is Ashleigh's glasses. When he had them, he had them and occasionally they would get dirty...more

Honestly, I'm kind of shocked that this book has such a high rating considering how poorly it's written, how little world building was involved, and how bland and uninspired the plot is.

To give a quick summary: Nineteen-year-old native Kieren Trevarde acts like he's a lot older than his years. His parents died when he was young, he grew up on the streets, battled addictions, and got swept into the world of crime. Ashleigh Trine is an intelligent eighteen-year-old who has gotten involved in a rebellion against the theocracy currently ruling his nation. Though they come from drastically different backgrounds, when they're both caught by police, they're thrown together in the same prison cell. Furthermore, the prison they've been brought to is one that has been specially constructed for persons with rogue Talents, a type of magical ability. Despite their confinement and the horrible circumstances they find themselves falling for each other. Now the only obstacle to their love is very place that brought them together.

The first 150 pages of this book were horrible. The only reason I kept reading was because I had bought it, and I couldn't bear to think that I'd just spent $10 for nothing. By far my biggest two issues about this book were the poor writing and the lack of background and world-building.

The God Eaters reads like it's fan fiction, throwing two characters together for no reason just so that they can unrealistically pine for one another in an angsty-teenager type of way. I'm assuming this is the author's first book for the writing is very amateurish. There were two instances in particular where the author actually used the wrong word - "substance" instead of "subsistence" and "font" instead of "fount". Not only were incorrect words used, but sentences didn't make grammatical sense. Like this one: "They wouldn't hear it even if they heard it." I read that three times before giving up trying to understand.

Bad writing aside, the plot and world-building were terrible. The God Eaters is set in a fantasy world. There's magic in the form of Talents. And there's an evil theocratic government that is trying to repress other gods and the people who follow these gods. It sounds like the basics for an awesome story. However, Hajicek gives us no more than a few lines to explain the motivation of the villains, who come across as stereotypical faceless evil figures that are bad for the sake of being bad. Furthermore, we learn almost nothing about the magic system that functions in this world even though our two main characters are imprisoned in part because of their magical ability. Lastly, the world seems to have an old west kind of feel to it with talk of train robberies, bank heists, gun-slinging and shootouts at bordellos. However, the reader is never given enough information about the history of this world to be able to tell whether or not we should imagine a technologically sophisticated society or one that's only just begun a scientific revolution.

More than anything though, I wanted history about our two main characters. Hajicek gives us a fly-by introduction to all the bad things that happened to Kieren in the prologue, and begins the story with his arrest. Thus, when Ash suddenly goes all fangirl on him, I have no idea why this guy is a likable character except that the author tells me so. But at least Hajicek gives us something about Kieren. Ash gets no background story at all. He has an aunt, he was a rebel, he wrote inflammatory papers. That's it. Never once do we get any sense of why he joined a rebellion. We never know what kinds of papers he writes or what motivates him at all. Furthermore, in the first 200 pages of the book, Ash is so cowardly and whiny that I couldn't believe he'd have the courage to even join a rebellion. This book would have gained so much if the author had just spent an extra 50 - 100 pages at the beginning fleshing out her characters, showing them in the worlds they inhabited before they were put in prison so that we could understand them better and understand their reactions to one another better. After all, prison does not seem the mostly likely place to find true love, particularly when the prison officials benefit from pitting people against one another. All in all, I had the worst time trying to figure out where and when the story was taking place, what the rules were of this universe, and how the characters were important in the scheme of the world.

Lastly, even though the book gets a lot better by the end, it leaves you with just as many questions as you started with. Ash, for instance, makes a deal with another character in exchange for help. However, he never holds up his side of the bargain, and there's never any mention of him planning to do so sometime in the future. He also just abandons his aunt to her fate, and never shows any intention of trying to find her again, even though she's the woman who raised him. It was as though the author just took a snapshot of these people's lives but never gave us any context. Personally, I think this could have been a three book series - the first book could have been about how these characters became they way are and how they got caught by the police, the second could have been The God Eaters, and the third could have been about tying up all the loose ends that were left.

On the positive side, if you're looking for very light reading, a cute and sappy m-m romance, and two generally likable characters, then this is the book for you.(less)

I did not expect to like this book. But I'd read some of Jesse Hajicek's other work--under Jumping Jack Flash--on FictionPress.com and was persuaded. He often qualifies his m/m stories as slash, although on his site, he gives a "now-traditional yaoi warning" for this novel. This is hardly yaoi; it's far more sophisticated.

He often qualifies his m/m stories as slash, although on his site, he gives a "now-traditional yaoi warning" for this novel. This is hardly yaoi; it's far more sophisticated.

God Eaters is a hefty epic into which you can sink your teeth. It's AU, although that world echoes the basic structure of a developed, urban East and a wild, wooly West of the US frontier period. The plot is complicated, depends on magic and the role of gods over the course of history. Most of the characters are dimensional (particularly the two protagonists). Neither lead is perfect; both are believable in their natures and how they develop; I came to care deeply for both of them as they came to care for one another tenderly, elementally.

The story starts in prison, which, along with the western flavour, was not something I considered a recommendation. But it's very well done ... didn't bore or frustrate me in the least. The tale then turns into two lads on the lam and concludes with a larger-than-life magical confrontation of immortals. If there was a weakness in the plotting, it was in this final phase; the elements were set up along the way, but they still felt overwhelming and at times convenient, when nothing previous had really felt out of place.

Yes, the writing could have used an editor. Every now and again, a metaphor or simile jarred. But more often than not, he manages to turn these devices to their poetic advantage, and they do enlarge the experience. The writing style is lyrical--definitely not of an urban gritty flavour--and he is consistent within his style. Overall, the pacing was very good; the events and the relationship unfold in a comfortable way. The dialogue is particularly good. There's a fair bit of description, of the sort I usually gloss over, but in this book, I didn't. POV is third-person and is shared between more than the two leads.

The sex. It's there. It's not frequent, nor is it hugely explicit. But neither would I call it tame. It certainly is tasteful. This, however, is far more about the emotional growth of a bond rather than the sexual expression of it.

I was sorry to see the book end, despite it was a satisfying ending. I wanted it to keep going. There's set-up for a sequel--there are promises to be kept and new identities to fulfill. I'd love to see Hajicek run with this. Maybe he plans to, although I'm afraid, given he seems to have abandoned other stories, that he won't. I'd give a lot to be proven wrong.

So why five instead of four stars? Where so many formulaic stories begin to blur within days of reading, these characters and this world and the entire ambiance will stick with me for a long time. Any writer who can do that for me, regardless of flaws that could have been tidied in editing, gets my deep respect. Hajicek tells a very good story, and I give that tons more priority.

Frankly, every writer can benefit from editing; that the m/m genre doesn't receive the attention of mainstream publishing, with it's more careful attention to polishing, means most m/m offerings, whether self-published or managed through indie publishers, are just a bit rough around the edges. I can cope. I encourage you to as well, because this compelling epic is well worth it.

Rich, multi-layered and epic in scale. All my favorite things: societal boundaries, beliefs, emotional depth and engaging characterizations. The worldbuiling is extraordinary as are the range of people inhabiting it. Both Kieran and Ash undertake journeys and their character arcs are detailed and wide.

This is a self-published gay fantasy novel, and your reaction to that is likely to determine whether or not you enjoy it. I certainly did. The author does a wonderful job creating a realistic time and place (a futuristic old wild west if that makes any sense) and crafted truly three-dimensional main characters who couldn't be more different in temperment, but bond from their shared humanity in an inhumane world. That, and the fact that they're also hot! My one reservation is that the fantasy rea...more

I like to sell others on this book by describing it as the only romance I've ever liked. Then I casually slip in the additional facts that it's a fantasy/western, violent, bloody, and sometimes disturbing. The only things that keep this from being a five-star review are the author's first novel syndrome that occasionally rears its head in regards to pacing, and the need for an editor to tighten up some occasionally sloppy prose.

As it's written, I had some issues with the execution that prevented me from truly enjoying the reading experience. My 3 star rating is based primarily on giving credit to the very sincere effort of a first time author whose material doesn't have the advantage of a wider audience, and therefore, the benefits of a good polishing by a professional publisher. There were times when the prose leaned toward the purple, which I don't really mind so much. I do enjoy a poetic turn of phrase from time to time but not when the verbiage overshadows the story. There were quite a few similes that were also somewhat jarring and removed me from the flow of the story, which again could've been corrected in the editing process. ("You kick like a constipated priest." I just don't know what that means.)

I had issues with the plot progression throughout the story. There were parts that felt very static - the action not advancing because the author's voice was too present trying to make a statement. This story takes place in a vague and undefined time, in a dystopian universe where its inhabitants are oppressed because of their nationality, their sexuality, and their inherent magical abilities. So, in the course of becoming familiar with the characters and the world they inhabit, we're left with a very strong message in the author's voice rather than the characters', about civil rights, the mistreatment of and prejudice against the Native peoples, as well as the mistreatment of and prejudice against the "inverts". In the end, I just had too difficult a time listening to and focusing on the characters. I simply wasn't transported into this fantastical world where magic exists.

As for the characters, I liked Ash and Kieran. They were the perfect foils - a contrast in every way - yet their relationship progressed and developed in a believable way. It was easy to understand their hesitancy with one another in the beginning, then to understand their growing trust, friendship and dependence on each other.

In the end, I'd say this book is the little-engine-that-could if it only had the proper backing.

Story, according to E.M. Forster, is a series of events that tells you what happened in any given work. Story doesn't explain why things happen, because that's the job of Plot. There's a ton of story in here but not much plot. Things happen and then other things happen ad infinitum. We get through one thing and then it's off to the next, without much reflection in between. I can say though, that at least it moves fast, but that may have been the speed at which I was plowing through it wanting to get done.

I do wish we'd learned more about the characters. Ashleigh in particular could have used some exposition at the beginning instead of the pieces we got toward the end. He comes across as a badly written girl, all fainting and shrimpy, and I do wonder how he ever got involved in a rebellion. His name doesn't do him any favors. Maybe it's because I'm Southern and people do that here, but Ashleigh is a girl's name if I ever heard one. Thankfully it gets shortened later so that distraction is taken care of. Although I do think that the main reason he's so girly seeming is that he in a way really is part girl (view spoiler).

And I'd like to know what he saw in Kieran that made him so crazy for him from the get go. I don't think it was lust, because Ash isn't really lustful in Kieran's direction. It feels like adolescent mooning instead, which contributed to the fanfic-like quality of the book for me. It doesn't help that when they first meet they're all buddy-buddy like they've known each other for years even though they've never set eyes on each other before and they're both so different from each other that there's not even a common personality trait between them that could serve as a tie to bring them together. It's like author knows from the beginning that they'll be together but doesn't want to spare the time explaining anything to the reader, who doesn't have that author knowledge to begin with and so feels like they missed something.

Details on the fantasy world are missing too. A lot more could have been explained about the gods and their peoples, especially since they're important at the climax of the story. Talents, which land people like the MCs in jail, are important too, vastly important, but not much is given over to them either. Things are pretty bad in this world, but there's not enough history to truly suss out why things have gotten to this particular point. And the bad guys are definitely one-dimensional. They're almost bad to be bad really.

So I can't really say I gained anything by forcing myself to pick this back up and finish it, but on the other hand, it isn't irritating and it didn't put me to sleep. The MCs are likeable, moreso as the book progresses, and the plot does eventually show up and thicken. It just could have been so much more and it isn't. (less)
