My grasp of the Polish language isn’t as good as it could be, and this was made harder by the fact that half the nouns used here were pulled straight from Greek. Throughout the book I felt like much of the story and language and philosophical musings between characters went over my head. Queue titanic sieges, wars between Gods, expeditions into the heart of Africa, mythological beings, cities on the moon, flame powered Iron Man steampunk armor, interdimensional magic swords, epic space battles and eldritch abominations from out of time and space posing an existential threat to mankind.
