A very strange but enjoyable book. Reminded me a lot of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods.

My main critique is that I think the author could have shown more of the relationship between Apollo and Emma after Brian was born. We have to infer a lot of how Apollo treated Emma poorly because apart from a couple of scenes, it seemed to me that he was a good husband.</spoiler >
