I have not heard one hide or hair of folks talking about it, except maybe the reading groups. Was it good or a disappointment ? |

I agree with most of what's written here. Godborn was everything I had hoped for, though a bit rushed. Have fun perusing the other scrolls for more details.
On the subject of Mags, I can't help but think there's an explanation coming. No real facts, just a gut instinct there, but it does seem like something that has a fuller explanation coming, perhaps in future stories, perhaps in a Campaign Setting. |

Which elements annoyed you? The only thing I took issue with was the return of Mask not being explained. But I figured that Kemp plans to do that in the sequels.
The spellscarred brothers, Gerak's unlimited arrows, Magadon's uselessness, and the rather quick ending. It felt too much had been left out, which most likely was the case since this was supposed to be a trilogy.
I felt it was pretty rushed as well. It would have been much better as a duology at least. I mean our heroes barely know each other but become as close as brothers in the matter of a few hours. This is somewhat explained by Orsin's claim that they knew each other in a past life but I would have loved to read more about their past and their relationships evolution. Still none of this is really Paul's fault and it was still a great book.

Its was great, very entertaining read, had a bit of a dark, horror novel feel to it. I sure wouldn't want to be caught in Shade's Sembia. |

I love how there is a thread about The Godborn literally four threads below this one. Great book, would have been better as a trilogy, but perhaps we will get a more interesting story sooner and the less interesting parts won't have been drawn out over multiple books. Either way, I can't wait to read more! I definitely missed the banter between Cale and Riven...and sadly we probably will never read it again. |

My favorite part was when Ao took on avatar form and bent over Shar's avatar and began abusing her, only to have her like it. Oh, and when she became suddenly pregnant and gave birth to the new god. I mean, that was amazing, right?
Oh wait, that was in my head. |

Aye.
And there are several Book Club scrolls with SPOILER-specific content on this shelf. |

All in all a good read. I didn't know anything about the characters going into this novel but I will remedy that if/when I finally throw in with Wizbro and start buying 5e stuff. |

There are several topics on Godborn. you are just in the wrong part of the forum.
Threads in book club and in novels. |
