Again this is a series that is just getting started, so I'll keep this review pretty brief until we get more from this world. 
 I really enjoyed the main character. She has that "woman in a man's world" thing going for her, but she's still very feminine. I really enjoyed that the author had a strong female main character and managed to avoid the sappy romance. I also enjoyed Widdershins's humor and wit. Her narration kept me reading more than anything else. 
 I think the secondary characters were a little weak, but that's something that may be explored in later books. It's more difficult with a first person perspective, certainly, and may just need more time to be fleshed out. Even the god in her head communicates in a rather heavy-handed way at times, with Widdershins actually translating his meaning out loud. 
 The jumping back and forth in time was a bit disorienting sometimes. Even with bold FOUR YEARS AGO headings, it was hard to keep track of the timeline at times. The stories unfolding are interesting, and come together well in the end. 
 Overall the main character is what makes this story stand out. I'm looking forward to seeing the world and the other characters being more fully explored in later books.
