When a young peasant girl is injured while hunting, she meets a strange, magical man who is a member of a despised race – Mujar. Truemen scorn the shape-shifting unmen for their odd, humble ways, and envy their power over the elements. Mujar do not use their powers for good or evil, they simply exist, immortal and apparently purposeless.
Now a scourge is sweeping the land, armies of mounted warriors who cannot be defeated are wiping out Truemankind without mercy. They are known as the Black Riders, but no one knows where they come from or why they seem bent on exterminating every man, woman and child. Talsy traps the Mujar with gold, which has an odd effect on them, to make him help her, but her father intends to throw him in a Pit, from which he will be unable to escape.
Talsy does not believe the Mujar deserves such a fate, so she frees him and begs him to take her with him on his journey. He agrees, and they set off across Shamarese, continuing his quest to find an old hermit’s lost son. There is far more at stake than Talsy realises, however, and she has innocently stumbled upon the last free Mujar, who has the power to decide the fate of her race…
Children of Another God Broken World Book 1 eBook T C Southwell
Just finished the whole series from this book one to the ending. Once again, like many other series she's written, this author enjoys writing about the horrors mankind is able to inflict upon each other. In 'Children Of Another God,' she once again delves into the minds of the cruel, insane, selfish and evil. She goes though a lot of trouble in this series preaching compassion, understanding, peace, faith and temperance in the attempt to again give her view of what might happen to this world should we continue to harm our planet and each other. She nearly succeeds in her goal, only to give you an ending so morbid you'll truly hate humanity all the more. If you're looking for books that help you come to terms with humanity and learn to like it again, avoid this one. At the ending of the last novel I really really really hated the leading female character. "Selfish *itch!" I think slipped my mouth, more than once. Causing me to flip my Kindle Fire across the bed, feeling very annoyed at the female character. Probably her objective.This series is good, don't get me wrong. Once again she's given her readers a new environment to imagine as you read along. A new happenstance that will keep you turning pages. But again it's hard to miss the stimulates in this series from her others. Queen's Blade, Slave Empire and Demon Lord all have a running theme though them hard to miss, a pattern hard to ignore. If you read enough of her novels she'll start to get predictable. Why I took away the one star. If you like this series, despite the depressing ending, try Queen's Blade or Slave Empire. but do NOT read Demon Lord. That series doesn't have an ending yet. She's not written in that sires for years. So save your money on that one until it's completed.

Children of Another God Broken World Book 1 eBook T C Southwell Reviews
I love T C Southwell! All of her books that I have read so far have been beautifully written and absolutely captivating. This book certainly did not disappoint. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone, and the best part is that the first book in the series is free! It is definitely worth it to purchase the next books in the series, and that is coming from someone who rarely if ever is willing spend money on things like books and apps and other electronic things. Can't wait to read the next book!
I'm halfway through this book, and have struggled over whether to give it two stars or three. I eventually decided on three to be generous, and because of the reason I didn't like it. The reason I don't like this book is because it is essentially built around one of my least favorite fantasy tropes Our Elves are Better. (Look it up on TV Tropes ;) ). Southwell follows in the footsteps of a cliche that I thought had been abandoned by now, largely because it makes for unrealistic and one-dimensional story telling that is the cliche of having an alien species that is just better than humanity, in just about every way possible. Better in all aspects physically and better morally too. Tolkien's elves were the ur-example of this trope; Star Trek's Vulcans started out as this in TOS but had some complexity added to them in later iterations. Paolini's elves in the Eragon series are this as well. As far as I can see, that trope is essentially the entire point of this book. Chanter and the rest of the Mujar cannot be killed, have all kinds of nifty, literally god-like powers that they can exert at a whim and with no cost to themselves, and are above such petty human emotions as hatred and revenge even when they have been brutally tortured (they have some kind of "we are all one with nature" thing going on). Meanwhile, Talsy aside, every single human we meet without exception hates and despises the Mujar for no reason and treat Mujar brutally even when one has just saved the entire city from a fate worse than death.
The one-dimensionality and unreasoning hostility to the Mujar on the part of humans makes no sense. I started to roll my eyes at the doctor who insisted on remaining and torturing the Mujar Chanter even as the Black Riders were bearing down on his city (it would have been more realistic if half-way through, he had fled for his life, just leaving Chanter there to suffer unhealed instead), but when after they had just witnessed Chanter saving the city with their own eyes, people were still throwing rocks and things at him and have to be restrained from attacking him on his way out of the city, I put the book aside, my suspension of disbelief gone. The problem is, that kind of hatred is *so* extreme, that it needs an equally extreme instigator. It doesn't come out of nowhere, and the explanation that Southwell gives for it is inadequate (people hate the Mujar because they can help but won't? Chanter just helped, guys). If the people believed that the Mujar had somehow *brought* the black riders or caused them to come into existence, then I might have believed it. It wouldn't even have to be true; but it's the kind of thing that people easily might believe about a distrusted other. If the Mujar had used to keep humans in slavery, then maybe. If the Mujar had at one point been or still were a direct tribal threat to the humans, then I might believe it; humans can get very nasty when they perceive their tribe is threatened. But none of those explanations are given. I speculate perhaps somewhat unkindly that that's because it might have given the humans a solid two dimensions.
Characterization is no more than average, sub-average for everyone who isn't Talsy or Chanter, and prose style is the same--workmanlike and it gets the job done, but nothing spectacular. On reconsideration, my feelings are that this book is really only a two-star book, but just in case my judgement is skewed by my dislike of the tropes used in building this, I will give it three. I will probably grind on for a little longer but I doubt I'll actually finish this; the rest of the reviews indicate that it never gets any more complex in its portrayal of Mujar and / or humanity, and I'm not going on to the rest of the series, either.
I had high hopes for this book when I downloaded it to my new .
The story began with promise, but it fell apart, at least for me, when the characters began a seemingly purposeless wandering through a world where everyone was either completely good or totally evil, mostly evil. It wasn't until the black riders appeared that the story began to regain my interest, but it wasn't enough to salvage the story. This book would have benefited from a good content editor.
I struggled to give this book three stars, but Southwell is a good writer and the story concept is fine.
I got the free book and kept skipping over it to read other books. I kept looking at the cover and decided to chance it. I started reading yesterday and couldn't put it down until I finished. I would say it should be listed under fantasy/horror due to the nature of violence that went on..eek. Even so, I enjoyed this book. About to download the next one to see what happens. I think I am hooked.
The story is a terrific one! It's mainly about the prosecution of a race of beings that are nearly God like but do have a couple of weaknesses. They will not kill others and can be trapped, often leading to serious problems. Other races try to control them with little success. There are certain parts of the story that are gory, like the torture of this God like being! Glad to know there are 4 books in this superb series.
