The Gods Awoke - Vibbert, Marie

. .

Résumé :
If the Gods were real, could you believe? Hitra, high priestess of Revestre, already has enough on her hands: political upheaval, a distractingly attractive male servant, and an upcoming harvest festival. But when a column of flame from the heavens sends a city into tumult, it upends more than just her schedule. Now, Hitra must deal with a religious schism, ethnic strife...and a God growing out of control. Must read if you like SF with empowered women characters and some good banter along with your questioning of societal mores and standards ~Mary Grimm An innovative slant on a fantastic religion, its worshippers and divinities! ~Mary A. Turzillo, Cosmic Cats and Bonsai Even in a conflict on the scale of Gods, Vibbert masters the art of making small things matter. ~Lorelei Esther, illustrator, The Kitra Saga Creative, quirky, fun, Vibbert delivers a wild new take on divine gods and their petty squabbles in The Gods Awoke! ~Tobias S. Buckell, Crystal Rain
