Actual title "Poor decisions and the suffering that result".

This is the kind of story where everybody (and I mean everybody) just suffers through most of it until some kind of conclusion is reached towards the end after which they live happily for a chapter or 2 and then it's over, and frankly I don't like stories like that, because of my Justice Sensitivity (just google "ADHD and Justice Sensitivity" if you want to know more).

The first half of the story was kinda boring, the mythology/story of the gods was crappy and the gods were pretty stupid, no smarter than your average "mud person".

The second half ... was pretty infuriating because of all the bad decisions but mostly because of the antagonist and the NTR (or NTR-like) elements.

So the whole thing was basically just a story about stupid gods, bad decisions and suffering, only after the end do we somehow get any happiness which of course is gone in a flash, hardly worth sitting through all that for such little payoff.

Also the story could have ended better and more satisfactorily and more believably if "the greatest female warrior" could actually kill the antagonist when he was distracted with his back to her instead of missing like an incompetent fool, what makes it worse is the the antagonists people are not close combat fighters, neither do they do any physical labor, so he should not have had any dogging skills. He also didn't suffer anywhere near enough to satisfy my anger.

Some of the writing was pretty well thought out though, it kept me constantly on edge (which some like, but I don't) and I didn't see some of the things coming until they were explained at the end, but how could I care about that after being pissed off so much ?
It also didn't help that I was not expecting this kind of story based on that description and cover.

Anyway, not recommended if you have ADHD, the rest of you should probably give it a shot.
