Review: This book was good because it included many unpredictable plot twists that left me speechless. I literally had to stop reading every chapter to process what was happening. I also thought it was cool how the gods were "up to date," so they have facebook, Spotify, and the internet.

Favorite quotation: Page 34. "After being alive for so many millennia, I have trouble keeping track of time. I hear a song on Spotify and think 'Oh, that's new!' Then I realize it is Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 20 in D minor from three hundred years ago. Or I wonder why Herodotus the historian isn't in my contacts list.Then I remember Herodotus didn't have a smartphone, because he had been dead since the Iron Age."
