I liked the subtly off-kilter parallel world, and I could go along with the horror novel goddess resurrection stuff. The book is best when doing some magic and theology. If only that weren't embedded in some stultifying St Elmo's Fire knock-off starring the most boring and passive set of characters...

I nearly finished it, over several weeks, largely because of airplanes with broken wifi. Reminded me of grinding through crappy hardcovers because I'd bought the damned thing and was gonna get my money's worth.
