I will be taking a star off because a character repeatedly misgendered a trans woman at the end of the story and because
All in all I really enjoyed this story, it was so fun and exciting to read.
I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars!

The plot didn’t really exist. I didn’t care at all about the outcome because I wasn’t even sure what was happening. 2 of the main characters could have been removed and it would have barely changed anything. This felt more like the author wanted to put as many whacky things in one book than they wanted to have a cohesive plot to tie the concepts together.
It’s like, saying the selling points of the novel make it sound incredible- who doesn’t want to read about a clash of AI and gods? Turns out, about halfway through the book, I didn’t care because the plot fell out. The world building was also sparse and not immersive. The present except there’s some weird robots that feel too retro to actually be futuristic.
There was also some child abuse throughout the entire novel that did not sit well with me, as well as a bizarre stance on chronic pain that could have been interesting but became too convoluted to make sense.
There were some funny one-liners and a cute gay relationship that I enjoyed.

- I've seen some reviews complain about the number of narrators, but I really enjoyed the many points of view. Given how much was going on, it felt like I was seeing many sides of the action.
- One big thing that dragged this down for me was the implication that the disabled character couldn't fully access her joy and artistic talent unless she was actively in pain. I understand how that concept integrated with the overall plot, but it felt icky at times.
