4.25 out of 5.. Gaiman had my attention the entire time but the ending was terrible
Started reading this because everyone says it's such an amazing book and I loved Norse Mythology. Somehow I lost it a little bit halfway and never really got back into it and the magic was gone. The gods are described beautifully and it's very vivid, but the story itself wasn't amazing

This is a great read, but where it's greatness sits among the histories, I suppose only time will tell.
This will be a novel I probably have to re-read to full grasp it's deep lore and mythical inspirations.

Una novela que plantea un imaginario interesante de dioses antiguos mezclados con los dioses creados por los hombres; llenos de ambigüedad, egoístas y, finalmente, también frágiles y luchando por su supervivencia. Los personajes que se esbozan en la novela tienen todos encanto y el tour de force final es tremendo. Es cierto que no es una novela para todos los públicos y cuyo desarrollo es muy lento, pero es de agradecer ver cómo todo acaba encajando.
Me he quedado con las ganas de conocer un poco más a todo el elenco de personajes que aparecen y que acaban sólo bocetados para dar paso al avance de la trama, pero es una novela que me ha gustado mucho y no decepciona.

I'm reminded of how the Greek gods were explained to a young me: they're not all-wise, all-powerful, or even virtuous. They have all the follies and vices of mankind, played out at grand scale.
I like what the author did with the gods, here. They still quarrel and scheme in the modern day, they still draw on immense metaphysical power, but they're has-beens, and mankind barely cares. They only have your pity. It's wonderful.
