Pretty darn good. I devoured it all in one sitting, anyway. The writing, I mean the prose itself, is basically perfect. The story was... maybe not my cup of tea? I don't mean that it was upsetting or disappointing or actually bad. I did give it 4 stars because I liked it. And I will recommend it to others. I guess the "mythology" just didn't click with me; it just isn't something I'd feel compelled to buy for myself, or to read again. Not soon, anyway. I guess this is one of those "It's not you, it's me" reviews.
