I might well put this on my winter reading list. You know (well if you are in the northern hemisphere) Early evenings and long dark nights. It is a book to snuggle down and read.
Some pausing to make actually think. It is the humanisation of gods and goddesses from the land of Sumer. It would be crass to say it covers a family but it looks at the becoming of gods and from their point of view as to how they became rulers, worshipped.
Some power struggles indeed and darkness.
There is a heroine and then a hero... but how they become so is wildly different. One born into ruling and the latter striving to become immortal.
Completely fascinating...
