What I Learned from Sandy Lender's Choices Meant for Gods:

1. Not all gods are all powerful, even if they do strut around like they're "all that."


2. Interesting birthmarks are always a sign of trouble.


3. If you're going to keep a wizard around for protection, you should really try to hang on to him.


4. If you can't hang on to your wizard, it's a good idea to keep a god or two around for back-up.


5. Just in case you end up completely on your own now and then, you should probably learn a thing or two about magic yourself.


6. But you can't always depend on magic, so having a sword on hand—or at least a dagger—wouldn't hurt either.


7. In fact, if you live in a world full of gods and magic and such, it might be best never to leave the house.


8. Never attend to an errand yourself when you can send a servant to do it. Servants hardly ever get attacked by demons.


9. If you do have to go out yourself, be sure to bring a really fast horse.


10. And the most important thing I learned from Choices Meant for Gods: despite all the demons, warlords, and evil goddesses in the world, sometimes it's worth it to go out anyway. You'll never save the world (or meet anyone worth dating) if you don't take a risk once in a while.
