Look for content warnings. Epic-kind-of-ness cannot justify too much sex and all this stuff for me.  I've read better ones.

If not challenge, I would NOT finish it. Out of stubbornness, mostly.

I read for the fun biblical stuff, i.e. the biblical angels, analogies/allusions. Loved the non-binary Pie-o-Pah character, but there was far too much rape and child death for me. Can't recommend for anyone.  It's gay but it's not a good time.
