The premise of this book had a lot of potential, but ultimately fell flat with lackluster characters, flat dialogue, and a plot that boiled down to "you should believe in gods." It didn't help that the audiobook reader for this was doing terrible voices for everyone--it made every character seem hopelessly annoying.

There were certain aspects of this story I liked, but the whole time I just kept thinking that if this had been in the hands of a better writer then it could've shined. As is, I'm glad to be done with this.
