Freaking awesome! Went into it thinking I wasn’t going to really like it, but it was so dark and grim, I ended up really enjoying it. Definitely won’t be for everyone. Loved the mythology and historical characters that pop up throughout. Was the first I’ve read of Neil Gaimans work so far, and won’t be the last!
