Excellent.
Not like Good Omens, other than that there are two intertwining plots and a demon. Who is nothing like Crowley. Slightly more like Wayfarers, not so much because of the aliens and queer characters but the general vibe of hiding in a safe place inside a hostile universe. The plot is more Addie La Rue than either of them. I wish blurb writers would stop the comparisons. This story is fantastic on its own merits.
