5.0

Somehow this is the first time I’ve read this, and my first time reading a 100% Neil Gaiman book (previously I’d only read Good Omens). 

This was full of artful storytelling and just a beautifully crafted world. I didn’t know much about it going in, so navigating all of the twists and turns was really wonderful. 

Strongly recommend for anyone looking for a modernish light fantasy with some really great world myths mixed in.
