I won this book through a GoodRead.com giveaway.
Like any first book that sets up for a series, The Gods Among Us has lots to explain in the first few chapters. I had some starts and stops where I turned to the Chart of Houses in the front to figure out who was what and where they belonged. However, as the excitement began and the plot moved ahead, all the pieces fell into place.
Pallas is like any frustrating/frustrated teen. She knows everything and nothing. She doesn't want any help and has no idea what she's doing. When she meets Othello, her talking tutor of a cat, her life takes a big 180 and the adventure begins.
I thought the writing was well done and drew me into the story. At the end, you are looking forward to book 2! This is written for young adults, however I think readers of all ages will enjoy it.
