Everworld, Bd.7, Das Tor zu den Göttern

The mix of ancient gods and futuristic technology felt fresh and unique. I'm curious whether this fusion was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

While I loved the world-building, some parts felt a bit dense. Was that necessary to set the stage, or could it have been streamlined?

The diverse mythologies added richness, but I wonder what led to the decision to include so many different cultures in one story.
