Downfall of the Gods by K.J. Parker

4.0

When you kill someone and then beg forgiveness from the gods and do it correctly you expect forgiveness, you don’t expect the goddess you asked to come down and tell you to your face nope. But that is what happens in in this novella. Of course she gets in trouble and has to find a way to fix it since he did do everything correctly. What happens is becomes a bit of discussion about religion, responsibility, and consequences of actions. The is humor here but there are also some rather deep thoughts on religion here as well. A entertaining novella that is a bit weightier than its word count.
