Every 90 years, twelve British teenagers ascend to godhood and then have two years to live, and essentially become celebrities. It goes as well as you think it might, which is to say it's a wild ride. 

Fun fact: Each god is based on a real musician (David Bowie, Prince, Florence + the Machine, Daft Punk, etc), some more obvious than others.

It is certainly pretty and the characters are interesting, but I’m still a little confused about the concept and some of the language used. Will keep reading to see if it starts to connect…
