Okay yes this book was extremely predictable but I ate this one up just like the first. Something about this atmosphere just hits for me. Lore was in denial about the Main Thing that was happening for a little too long for my taste and that made me a little annoyed, but not enough for me to want to put the book down. At this point, I do believe I'll continue the series because I'm interested in the macro plot and how the god problems are going to be resolved.
