A nice story short enough for me to read while waiting for a flight, and during said flight, minus a few pages. Neil Gaiman going back to his roots of inscrutable cosmic forces seen through the eyes of small but noble humans. It didn't wow me like alot of his other stuff did, but I enjoyed the vibes.

adventurous dark sad fast-paced
I can't really give this a star rating as I don't think I am the intended audience.

The writing itself is beautiful, the setting is magical and the story is captivating. However it drained me of hope and made me quite upset. I look to books to escape and play pretend somewhere more hopeful and happy, this book is not for that, at least not in the way I interpreted it. 

Don't get me wrong it's a very good book, but it's for an older audience who enjoy darker themes and more somber tones. If you are going through a tough spot mentally this might not be the right read.
