The Divine Child book . Madeleine Barthelemey is pregnant with twins  . This was my second Bruckner novel and I have to admit I'm impressed by the flexibility of this author. A delightfully bizarre read, capturing essential life questions and most important, the human nature.

The novel itself is OK. I am personally not a fan of books giving away the ending. We know, because the history books say, that the MC will be a King. We know he will fight against the 'Divines' and have a bunch of negative titles and his childhood guy friends will all be friends forever and be generals and shit. These things are not spoilers, the story is upfront with this information.
