For such a short book, I have a lot of thoughts! I really enjoyed this. There are definitely some parts that show the time in which it was written, but putting those aside, I thought the play with god concepts really fun.

I'm not sure what my favorite line of the book is, but at first glance, it might be: “I know the gods love blood, and that is why I have offered it to you...“

The other thing that stands out: emotionally-stunted, angry, men in the 40s were a lot like emotionally-stunted, angry, men in the 2020s. Crazy, huh?
