I don't know, this just kind of fell flat for me. 
 A neat concept weighted down by mediocre delivery and a kind of incohesive plot. Despite all the trickery, mischief and revenge going on I felt oddly detached from the whole thing. And what's worse is that I never really found myself enjoying the book. 
 At under 300 pages, by the time things really got rolling plot-wise I figured I might as well continue to plow through for lack of anything else to do. And truthfully, I made myself go back to it numerous times, reading it in fits and starts. Because I knew if I let it sit too long, I probably wouldn't go back at all. 
 Which, all in all, is a real shame. Because I adore mythology. And there were glimmers of really interesting story in here. The slow decay and boredom of the gods. The twisted familial relationships. The thoughtless need for revenge. 
 But it all just sort of stumbled on into mediocrity. Hence, the 2 star rating of "it was okay". 
 I wouldn't bother with this one. If you're looking for something along these lines with a hell of a lot more depth, I'd go for Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It's definitely going to make you put in a lot more effort than this breezy read... but it'll be worth it.
