Gods is much more exciting, tense and well written than Princess. All the way to the cliffhanger ending, it is packed with danger and new foes. I think what I like most is the imagination of it all. It is not a deep book, but has such an interesting world. One thing I will note that I heate was the five different points where John fails to realize that the boy he is talking to is his son. The book makes it clear the first time and the second time was somewhat excusable... but five freaking times... ugh. That being said, it was the only portion of the book that significantly annoyed me. The only thing I was left wanting more of was Tars Tarkas and Kantos Kan becuase they are awesome.
