Description
A compelling adventure and the start of an amazing, action-packed new series set in a world of technology, heroism and ultimate power.
Darkness has fallen across the galaxy of Athenia. A prophet has turned from his purpose, and the god-suns who tried to stop him succumbed to corruption and in-fighting. Now Vargon, an unchained demon made by a fallen god, rules with an iron fist and an army of elite warriors.
One hope remains. A desperate plan to save the galaxy from ruin.
At the prestigious Luthin Military Academy, four young soldiers find themselves drawn to each other. Lucas, a genius inventor. Jex, the best shot on the planet. Salara, an ace pilot. And Lorix, born with the impossible ability to create and control pulse energy—and the potential to achieve unlimited power.
More than chance has brought them together. The fate of Athenia is in their hands, and Vargon will stop at nothing to destroy them.

This was a good read with likeable characters. I liked the story. Good first book. I hope there is more to come. 4*.

I enjoyed Sam Wright's book, Gods of Athenia. The book started out slow but picked up as the pages flew by. The book is about the galaxy Athenia. The gods, demons and other beings and species are all explained in the book. I look forward to the sequel.

Gods of Athenia is an intriguing mix of fantasy and science fiction. I found the world to be very interesting in that it has highly advanced technology while also having superpowers of some kind.
Although it was slow to start, the pace picked up nicely and reached a good conclusion.
I did feel that some of the characters could have been more developed but this wasn't to the extent that I did not engage with the story at all.
I'm excited to read the next book in this series and hope to know more about the intricacies of superpowers as well as new characters.
Overall rating: 4/5 stars
