I wanted to love this book. 

The world building and concept of the Gods was fascinating. 

But the characters were so annoying, I found it hard to enjoy the story. A lot of the time, I found myself asking "Where is this headed? Or, Where did THAT come from?". The ending was not nearly as suspenseful as I had hoped. It was over very quickly.
