Last God Standing by Michael Boatman
3.0
I almost stopped reading several times. Fairly derivative and hard to care about the protagonist in the first half. ..or ever.
Some interesting concepts, all to the idea that humans have (almost) outgrown their need for gods.
girl talking to a god: "you tell me that toy are real, but also that you were never what we believed you to be. ..that we have looked too long in the wrong direction. "
Unlike American God's, which is deities fighting for that last of human belief, the idea here is that humanity's first demon, fear itself, tries to destroy all other gods and in so doing, lead to humanity's destruction. The elder gods, led by Yahweh, fight for the freedom of humans to choose for themselves.
