Overly confusing and definitely written for a male audience.

Considering that I loved the whole BoM universe... this two stars rating is really pathetic.

I've had this on my list to read for at least 5 years now, probably closer to 7 or 8, and I can totally see why I would have been drawn to this really weird, really different tale. Learning that it's based on a Gaiman story might be why it, at least in part, wasn't totally my cup of tea, but more often than not it's that it was a little more weird and disjointed for my tastes. Too much of it just wasn't doing the trick for me.

Not a bad read, just not great and not for me.

DC universe magic users is not enough to make this interesting.

A [book: Books of Magic] AU in which everything is very different from the world [author: Neil Gaiman] first laid out. Namely, everyone is an unsympathetic asshole. Strictly as a horror comic, this is pretty awesome—Spencer has a lot of ideas that are original and very scary. But he made me hate everybody, including characters I usually love. A universe where you’ve got no reason to root for John Constantine is a sad, sad place, and I don’t want to hang out there.
