There are some spelling and other errors but not enough to distract (much) from the story.The characters are empathetic and the story well told; I almost gave it 4 points until I started the review.The ancient gods are a good element and capricious enough to fit any Greek Pantheon of gods but why call them Panthenites (?!) and whoever heard of Malefics?One thing I had most trouble with was turning back time. The Ps and Ms notice it but not humans? It doesn't completely mess up the entire world? Having some of the people whom Aiden killed during his blipped-back war stay dead - but both sides just shrug?The trouble with creating gods is that the authors usually forget about the rest of the world. These gods and their quarrels were apparently responsible  for the World Wars and genocides in Africa and Asia. Yet they are strictly Western gods. What about the gods of the rest of the world? How do they react? Or is the rest of the world godless? Does it just exist to be tormented when these Western gods feel like it?Overall, I'm afraid I won't be buying the rest of the series.However, you're an excellent writer, Ms Jackson, and when you write of a less ambitious world I will probably buy your books.
