Since the characters are for the majority hundreds of years old you can imagine that there is a lot of backstory.  It seems that we got a nice chunk of a flashback of it in this volume.

In the previous volume this was handled more as telling history or sharing gossip which was amusing because of the lens it was told from.  For the flashback it was more of a lived experience so not much humor.

I'm still enjoying the story and since it is predominantly character based with some "baddie-of-the-week" elements the previous experiences of a nigh immortal character are integral.

samugranjo's review against another edition

adventurous mysterious relaxing tense medium-paced

4.25

"To humans, gods are elders, teachers, everlasting light, but they are not our masters. Therefore, we should be full of thankfulness and admiration but never groveling worship. (...) I believe that the correct attitude is thankfulness and shared joy - not fear, not ingratiation, not intimidation, and certainly not putting oneself in a position of servitude."
