This is a hard one to review. Overall, I did like the the book. It was a very unique story and I was definitely interested in what was happening. It was a little confusing trying to get the names and dynamics between the gods and godlings straight. The author is a good writer, but I really had trouble with her writing style. Everything would be moving along fine and I'd be into it, and then it would suddenly break off..."oh, I forgot to tell you something that happened earlier," or "let me explaing that"...or some other really weird interjection. It was really annoying!

The characters were okay. I didn't really get the relationship between Yeine and Nahadoth.

I could have done without the pedophilic and incestual tones of the book. I mean, really? Ick!

The ending was okay. I wish there had been a little more explanation on how things happened the way they did. It all seemed a little abrupt to me.

I'm wondering why I liked the book after this! Despite my issues, it wasn't a bad book!
