I'm kind of torn with this one. On one hand, it's beautiful, the prose is borderline poetic, and it features a queer, well-built relationship between two demigod soldiers; on the other, it's confusing at times, having me frequently wondering what was actually happening on a scene. There's not much of a plot either, and the climax is almost hushed—though I do understand it wasn't the focus. Overall, it was a strange read, both weird and marvelous. I added this book to my list of science fiction stories to read in 2017, but it's not much of one, not really: its SF touches are very subtle, present I believe when the biology and genetic of Gods are briefly commented.
