Having finished the Kushiel trilogy, I started again.

The trouble was, I read the beginning of Kushiel's Dart in Border's, and didn't re-read it once I decided to like the series, so I was a bit vague all the way through on the 'mythology'. And I was sort of confused by the politics for that matter :)

Now I re-read it, and was going "Oooh! That's what happened to Elua."

It's an interesting mix actually, reminiscent of ancient Christianity/Judaism; there is a one god, but lots of angels/lesser gods/other gods/spirits. And like the history, it diverged from ours ages ago; Jesuites, followers of Jesua, are another sect, and the people concentrate on Elua and his Companions.

In fact, a little like I was going to do. Doh.
