Interesting take on the development of a new god. Not much else there.

I didn’t love this book, but I also didn’t stop reading it. A lot of people have said that they didn’t empathize with the characters, and I totally get it. They were almost entirely unpleasant. But the premise is great, and so was the story.

Ich weiß noch nicht so richtig, wie ich das bewerten soll...
Einerseits war es ziemlich wirr, andererseits hat es mich aber doch gefesselt.
