Edit in light of the news about Neil: The kiss in this now has a different meaning and gives me an icky feeling. I see why I didn't like it.

Encapsulating both these complaints: Balquis' character seems to exist completely for proposes that don't further the narrative: adding a sex(ist) scene and dying during the "troubles" part. I could be convinced there's narrative value there, but I'm not seeing it at the moment.

It was very engaging and interesting. I really enjoyed learning about all of the different mythologies and gods mentioned (I read the annotated version so it gave me more information) and I really liked this book!
