queensthiefSPOILERS AHOY
I'm wondering what everyone thinks of this book in comparison to the gods (or epic figures) present in TaT - I'm not sure how to untangle this!
One of the big questions I had after TaT was why two Medean immortal figures would help Kamet, since he was working against the empire, whereas Gen's gods literally betray him to save his country. Why would the Medean pick sides like that? I don't think that was addressed at all in this book, which seems to harken back to KoA: Gen gets answers - Gen gets rain - Gen gets lightning (he does get tortured in the process, let's not forget, and betrayed again) -
Where are Immakuk and Ennikar in all this? Have the Mede's gods abandoned them? (Have the Medes abandoned their gods first?)
And PS, I suppose: any opinions on why Pheris can see Moira when no one else can?
