This has been a fascinating story that has, in tiny ways, parallels to my own story, with a main character who starts the book working in a coffee shop and who is a musician. That affinity to him has pulled me through this story, when I might be turned off by some of the language used. But I think that’s more about me than the book (especially because I think the language that can trouble me is intended to make a point in this book), so I didn’t even dock a quarter-star for it, because I liked this book so much. 

Most importantly, I want to read more of this story and I have no doubt that I will buy the next book soon (if we haven’t already) to find out what happens next in this world of creative/entertaining gods.
