for anyone unsure about this book, its really good, but is part of q larger universe. that all tie in together, the first book of the universe is Otherlife Dreams
this is a Harem, and in truth this was a bit short and could have been expanded an extra 50 pages but thats how the other works are as well
there are many many references that you won’t understand but spoiler below
this is a war of “gods” and I say that loosely, and this is but one perspective of the battle on one of the many worlds
