I thought the audio adaptation was really good. The story itself was fine. Will did not seem to have an active role in his story, which I found disappointing.

One of the best explorations of immortal/powerful beings of any fantasy I have read. Engaging, interesting, reminded me of the best parts of Neil Gaiman (with none of the lovable, but sometimes excessive, bloat).
