It was very engaging and interesting. I really enjoyed learning about all of the different mythologies and gods mentioned (I read the annotated version so it gave me more information) and I really liked this book!

Random in a good way, I never grow tired of Gaiman's writing. The only thing I didn't like was

Spoiler

how quick and easy the war was resolved.

Loved it! Really thrilling, imaginative & atmospheric! I especially love Thoth’s historic asides. Only flaw is that the climax is very anti-climactic and not satisfying, but not enough to ruin the book.
