neil gaiman please put your pen down i cant support misogynistic storylines i know this isnt in your heart😭😭😭(/j i know the book is old)

the amount of times ive exploded tristran with my mind cannot be overstated. im gatekeeping all the ethereal girls from fantasy simps from now on because Men dont know how to be normal about women in mythological fairytales. 

loved the worldbuilding and the entire concept of the storyline. ironically the poetic ending was my favorite, but i feel like this story should have been bigger in order to do the created universe and multiple sub plots justice. the characters felt somewhat underdeveloped. glad i read it tho, as always gaiman’s worldbuilding remains top tier <3 on to the next!
