Paternus by Dyrk Ashton
4.0
Fun and fast-paced
I'll start by saying that the first quarter of the book is slow-moving. We're introduced to a lot of characters with little idea of what is happening. Once the action starts it doesn't let up until near the end.
Great tying together of various mythologies, including some that I found to be obscure. Make no mistake that they are done in a unique manner.
Now for the part I didn't like, which I'm putting below for spoilers...

It's Billy. Really hates the idea of introducing the only GLBT character only to kill him off. It was unnecessary. Either there should have been more or he could have simply not been gay. As far as biblical texts go, it's at odds with what we know anyway, so it should have been avoided. I took off a star for it.
