For the second time this year I have read a second book in a series before the first. With this novel, similar to Heinlein's you can get away with it, though I did feel like I was missing something throughout the novel.
An interested look at what it means to be a god, what it means to be good, and an interesting interpretation of Plato. I look forward to reading the first book to find out how it came about and the third book to find it what happens next.
I also really liked the subthemes about dealing with mortality, death, and, of course, revenge (what's something that's Greek/Greek influenced without some good ol' revenge?) It was interesting to see how different characters grieved differently.
I rate it an eight out of ten. An enjoyable read, a bit slow at the start but very philosophical.
