Last Call by Tim Powers

3.0

A fun, rambling book about a gambler who sells his soul and tries to get it back, complete with god-like entities (Archetypes) who flash in and out of the scene. A lot like "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman but not as good. I found the "archetype" stuff and the tarot really interesting, and wish some more information had been provided on who the various arcana in the tarot were. I think personifying them a bit more would have made some of the card stuff (oh, theres a two of spades, that means the Jack of Hearts is looking for you, etc) seem less random. Easy to rip through this one though, so worth a pass.
