And yes, there's lots of stuff about the gods! On the road the characters sometimes pass the time by telling each other myths about the old gods (ancient Greek flavored, but also their own separate thing), and occasionally arguing about what's the right version, and later on Gen starts having dreams about the gods, and then meets them in the temple...
I love the way that Turner writes about the gods - the way they are so human and yet also very much not - and I meant to write about it in this post, but I see I got so distracted by everything else that I did not. Perhaps in a future review.
