Black Sea Gods is an interesting weave of history and legend, myth and mysticism, neatly bound together with a religious ribbon.  Brian L. Braden immediately and effortlessly draws his reader into another time and place as the Uros of the Lo sets out to discover why the world is changing.  There is a story within a story within a story here, and I believe this book would be worth re-reading in order to come to a better understanding of all the events taking place.While the book is extremely well-written, it often droned on tediously in an almost monotone fashion.  It failed to capture and maintain my interest, often lulling me into sleepiness.  The bits of The Chronicles of Fu Xi were beautifully composed and I found them the most interesting.A unique and fascinating story overall, with some lovely, poetic descriptions and great details of various cultures.  Braden is a talented author whom we can likely expect good things from.I was provided a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.
