I did not think I’d like it at first, but oh boy that book did not let me off the hook. Can’t wait for the next ones (even though it works as a stand alone too as well). I really liked the characters (Lucifer, Dream, death although not as much and also the girl lol). It’s Neil Gaiman, what did I expect?!?!
