Downfall of the Gods by K.J. Parker

5.0

I suppose it's possible that this is more of a four star book--it's a fun read, wry and witty and with a very interesting angle on the gods--but I was in such a book rut and this popped me right out of it.

How do gods live, how do they interact with mortals, and why do they care? It's a lot to take on, but mostly it's about one cheerful, kind of irritating goddess and the poor fellow she sends on a quest for absolution.

KJ Parker is truly delightful.
