2.5
This was very poor - in story and especially writing. The premise was an interesting idea, but the delivery was simply not there. The writing immediately turned me off by recycling memorable turns of phrase in the same chapter. It was bad.
The worst of the book was it's inauthenticity. The characters had no appeal, they were wooden, the humor I read so much about was completely absent, and their dynamic made rang false. The characters felt wrong, the dialogue was discordant and often confusing - it wasn't clear which character was speaking, and it often felt like context was missing.
The world and story were mildly interesting, which is why I gave the 2.5 stars at all. The dynamic of the gods was heavily borrowed from Greek mythology, but even that didn't save it.
I don't recommend this book. It's bad.
