Supernatural: Mythmaker by Tim Waggoner
2.0
This one was okay but it disappointed me too. I think I got my hopes up again after reading Coyote's Kiss. There wasn't anything wrong with the story itself, but it was the flashbacks.
The flashbacks to a hunt in which Dean and Sam first met a god. It didn't contribute much to the story apart from a lot of confusion about when it was set and why and how (and did I mention why it is even necessary to have these annoying flashbacks?). Honestly, the book would have gotten 4 stars if the flasbacks weren't there. It seemed like the author wanted to tell two stories and just couldn't choose between either of them so he just linked them and thought that was a good idea. It wasn't. It doesn't work that well, disrupts the general flow of the story (which was amazing!), drags you out of the fighting gods mindspace and into something that happened... once upon a time and has something that is related to the gods they are facing there but not quite.
No, this was definitely not my favourite.
