review 1: I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the transcendent subject matter that touched on the necessity of duality for existence. And I was enthralled and delighted by the epistemological and metaphysical focus of the dialogue an inner monologues. If you enjoy thinking abstractly but in a curious fantasy setting, this is a great book. If you prefer simplicity, something that doesn't require much thought, or something linear you should probably pass.
review 2: An interesting novel by a newcomer to field ( she has since written 4 others books).This is a book light on action with a writing style that is light and engaging at the same time.The story deals about what happen when, following a war between gods, the looser gods become slaves to the human priest of the winn... moreer god. It's something I haven't read about and the author's approach was very fresh and attractive. The story is told from the point of a view of a woman, grand daughter of the ruler of the world and of her involvement in the succession and in the gods schemes.To top this off, this book is part of a trilogy but every book is self contained ( the second book actually follows new protagonists and takes place 10 years in the future). less

4.5 stars.Seriously good, I couldn't put this down at all for the last half of it! It has an interesting, compelling set of characters, both mortal and divine, add some delicious court intrigue and fantastic worldbuilding and mythology, and you get a hell of a good read. The gods, of course, are the biggest pull and hook of this book, and they're written so well - deceptively mortal, and disconcerting and terrifying when they show how much they really aren't. The ending was refreshingly surprising, so I have been converted to this series!

Deeply weird (and slightly disturbing) bodice ripper. While the world is interesting, the story really was not -- plus it triggered two of my particular issues. First, there's a lot of near-but-not-quite-pedophilia. Second, there are no such things as princesses (and yes, the lead was a princess, even at the start in her far away kingdom) without staff. Yes, I do not hold these things to be morally equal.This could have been so much better a book and it wasn't and that kind of annoys me.

Weird but compelling.
