This is not a story about "good people" or even "good gods." I like how H.E. Edgmon challenges the concept of what makes a person "good" or "evil." In the end, there are only people, what people want, and the moments when those desires conflict with each other.
The cast of characters are so LGBTQIA+ positive. I loved seeing all the transgender characters. AND!!! AND OMG!!! It's POLY!! I want to see so many more stories where the love triangle is actually polyamory. I also appreciated how the author made a point to explain that Gem's journey in their identity exploration is highly reflective of their own personal journey, and it may not reflect others' journeys.
