My life got hectic and here I am 2 months later finally getting back to this book. I will admit the pacing wasn't as gripping as I thought it would be. I wasn't exactly chomping at the bit to get back to reading this. It's a Gaiman book though, so read it I absolutely will.

lol, my god.

Neil Gaiman is the kind of writer that makes intros and ‘notes on the text’ somehow incredibly interesting. I once listened to him, one-by-one, give the back story to each short in a book of short stories. I feel like that section should have been at the end because I hadn’t read the shorts yet and therefore this information meant nothing to me- but I listened to him completely rapt. Wizard.

omg, why has it taken me this long to pick up a kindle??

I have never read a book on a Kindle before, but it doesn't look like it's available in print yet and I really just needed a cozy story to get me through having shingles. I will admit, compared to the enormous Inheritance trilogy brick featuring 3.5 books in one paperback, the kindle is quite sleek. I'm not fearing for my life if I accidentally fall asleep reading and the book lands on my face, for instance.

I enjoyed this journey.

I was not expecting to begin this book in the same universe but with an entirely new set of characters and I love it.
