So far, this is pretty terrible. Midway through the novel, the semblance of a plot finally emerges, but the leading witches' flat characterizations and petty materialism all but murder what could have been an interesting foray into real-world based adult fantasy. The ham-fisted splicing of Norse mythology into the story paints a very thin veneer over what is an otherwise mundane drama/romance. Stick to Neil Gaiman.
