Gods Versus Karma is an excellent work of fiction by J.W.R. Henderson. It is a fantasy-fiction novel based on another realm. The book starts when Price meets Iris, who asks him to follow her. They enter the Central Hall, where ten gods are seated, five on each side.

The story continues, and we come across Dianna. She follows a man she feels had tethered her into the strange world she found herself in. Soon after that, Dianna meets Brenner to ask for help. Brenner locks her up in his chamber. Soon, Brenner realizes that Dianna is not in the house anymore. What happened to Dianna? Read this fantastic book by Henderson to find out more.

This book has some positive aspects. The author employed the omniscient point of view in writing the book, and this allowed me to follow all the characters. I liked how the author dedicated each chapter to talk about the activities of a particular character. This allowed me to wallow in suspense, eagerly waiting to know what happened to a character. This created the elements of mystery, surprise, and suspense and kept me glued to the book.

The author seemed to know a lot about Greek mythology. His characters added color to the book. I particularly found the names of most characters intriguing. For instance, the name Prometheus was new to me. I also found some other interesting names like Price, Demeter, and Brenner interesting. Also, the author has excellent storytelling skills. It was as if I was in this other realm with these characters.

The book focuses on Greek mythology, and there were mentions of Pluto and Venus, a god and goddess, respectively. The book also made mention of Pandora's box. It was a very educative read which prompted me to pick an interest in Greek mythology, and I discovered a lot in the process. I found only a few errors in the book; it was professionally edited.

There was a negative aspect to this book. I found the book's introduction a little confusing. I felt I was being introduced to different characters without an adequate explanation of the characters' relevance in the book.

Nevertheless, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because I enjoyed the storyline as it unfolded. The author did an excellent job writing about something so complicated and still telling a beautiful story.

I recommend this book to lovers of Greek mythology or people who would love to gain insight into Greek mythology. Anyone looking for an excellent, fictional read can also go for this.

I’m not really a fan of Greek mythology In it’s traditional sense. This sounds like a good way to be introduced to it.

I think the point of view employed by the author makes reading a lot easier. You really seem to have enjoyed this book and I am now interested in finding out why it got a four out of four rating. However, I have a lot on my plate at the moment.

Am i the only one curious to know why Brenner would lock Dianna up in a closet? From this review Diana gors to her for help and the next that happens is that she locked her up? I'm going to read this book for sure.
