Mythbreaker - Book Review

Mythbreaker, by Stephen Blackmoore, is the second book in the Gods and Monsters fantasy series, in which gods are real. This is a bit similar in some ways to the first book, but it does go into a slightly different area - this time, the main protagonist is a prophet (which obviously reminds me of Supernatural). Like in Supernatural, the prophet is pretty messed up, an addict and assumes he is crazy. There are a lot of intersting battles, the book follows American Gods and give new concepts godhood (the Internet, the man, big money), but then we have a twist about the prophet's powers. It looks like an interesting idea by the end, but then I assume the whole thing is over (looks like a tough topic to write a book about AND be fun). There is a mild reference to the events in the first book, but it is just a shared universe for the series - no major recurring characters. Overall, pretty enjoyable, specially the end.
