Well done. This is a straight-up fantasy, with good gods and bad gods; demons, wizards and mages; and super-heros, giants, and halflings. Well paced, minimal character development, but a good read regardless. Clearly written back in the days of Weber not being able to bully his editors. (I find his more recent books being several hundred pages longer than absolutely necessary or desirable.)
Next? Not sure. Not the next one in this series, though I'll certainly read that at some point. But possible a classic - I've been lazy about that.
