A bit too sprawling for my tastes. I think making the narrator a godling limited the believability of the plot, and the metaphysics of the pantheon were suspect (well, less believable than one might expect for omnipotent beings ...)

One approach is the Malazan approach: there are various gods, they walk the world, but the true scope of their power is deliberately vague and unknowable. Here, everything is precisely defined and leads one to wonder, for instance, why the god can't just wish the problems away.
