The Shadow of the Gods

I think the author does a great job of building the world but I'm always interested in the storyline and the people.

At the 25% mark, there isn't a storyline with progression, it's like watching several 1-act plays where a set of people are interacting in a location. There were several different groups but I had no clue as to why they were all mentioned in this book; no storyline or progression.

And some of the characters were interesting but there's no mention of why one person is the main character of a particular 1-act play.
