This book is epic, in all senses of the word.
Epic in scope, in length as a journeyman tale and the fact it features certain Norse deities.
It was a satisfying read, there were patterns which weave and present themselves in such ways which are so clever and you get to feel quite clever when you've worked them out. Well you do if you're me.
My main reservation is that I was quite underwhelmed by the novel. I wonder that it is a tad overhyped. It is beautifully written, but I didn't get sucked in, I couldn't quite believe and that made me sad because of all the books I want to believe in I wanted it to be this one.
Maybe I missed something, but I found it lacked something.
It's also long and on occasion there is a long long way between chapters which doesn't complement my style of reading. I still think its a good book, it just didn't get me burning up with the degree of enthusiasm I thought it would.
My next book is Richelle Mead's Succubus Blues
