I think it likely has some pacing issues towards the end. I couldn't tell whether the last major plot was act 3 or an epilogue. However this book gets major props for two things. The first is that its godlike and ascending characters actually feel otherworldly, with motivations among human heads. Being able to emphasize with or "get" a god has use in some places, but I like that these ones feel like more than humans with overpowered magic. The second thing is that the execution of the world premise is truly bizarre, not completely fleshed out in all places to be fair, but weird and interesting. It's hard to put something down when I've got nothing else like it to replace it.

Oh, one more thing. This is dark. If you can't pair off any person or animal with any method of torture or murder and sit through the results... err
