This was a totally unique and different fantasy than anything I have ever read before and could be enjoyed by young adults upwards. Bernie, one of the gods who build universes has become a builder and it is not as plain sailing as he thought. While he has to live up to the awesome reputation of his award winning absentee father, he has a very spiteful enemy who is trying to get him fired.The way Bernie grows through the story and how he handles the setbacks and triumphs are the marks of a great character. He grows from a somewhat shy boy with a slight impediment to what he becomes at the end of the book. The supporting characters are well-drawn and also grow in their own way.In particular I liked the concept with the world building of the gods. The play on the ordinary lives of gods, when they are anything but ordinary is wonderful. Like people, some are nice and some are not. I would like to see a sequel to this.
