This one didn't really do it for me, even though I kept wanting to like it more. 
 I feel bad that I can't pinpoint what bothered me about the book. The repeated use of "who" when "whom" was called for chafed a bit, but not enough to mar my experience of the book as a whole. Mostly I think it just seemed too...big. Everything was hugely dire and happened on a grand scale, and it seemed almost too much for me to take seriously. The language seemed too simple, somehow, to encompass all of the world-building, human-building, gods-vs-mortals conflicts in the novel. And the ending...well, I always feel a little let down by tied-up-with-a-bow endings. 
 I did laugh at some of the exchanges between Janet and Eliot, and I really enjoyed the Rupert part, but while I'm glad I read it, it's not a book I see myself picking up again in the future.
