Ich fand die Idee des Buches (Götter aller Religionen kehren auf die Erde zurück, außer den Göttern der drei großen monotheistischen Religionen) sehr interessant. Das daraus resultierende Chaos und die damit in Verbindung stehenden Problematiken reichen von lustig hin zu höchst problematisch. 
Leider gefiel mir die Umsetzung des Ganzen nur bedingt (nicht das Beste Werk von Markus Heinz). Würde es aber, rein für die Idee, nochmals lesen.

It reminded me of some of American God's topics and I enjoyed it. Religion, history, a story that talks about a huge what-if.
I liked Mallues and found the style of writing/storytelling interesting.
It was just a bit too long but I will surely read the next novel (or the next 8 novels)
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
