Gah, this could've been an amazing story. But I felt like the character development was lightning fast and there were a lot of loose ends. What happened with that bet, for example? Also, it never addressed whether Liam was going to stop sleeping around; the reader only assumes that he'll suddenly be monogamous with Daniel. And where the heck did Liam get all those random handyman skills?? AND, Daniel should have had a struggle with believing Liam when he said he loved him. But he just accepted it as if he'd never gotten hurt that way.
In general... not enough background information or world-building >.< (Also, I felt the sudden, out-of-genre -- as I saw it -- presence of elves and dwarves was sort of stupid. Felt like someone switched the channel to Lord of the Rings for several pages.)
Ah, and yet I liked it regardless.... so I guess I'll give it three stars.
[edit: Oh yeah >.< I also had a big problem with the fact that the evil people were dark-skinned and the nice people were pale. One of the goddesses was even white as snow all over her body. Bleh)
