So I picked this book after reading Norse Mythology. Another factor was that the series based on this got some rave reviews so thought of reading the book, and chuck the series.
And what are the thoughts? Well it is not that great. It's actually full of cliches, and there are so many details of weather, localities, and what not which has unnecessarily added the number of pages.
The whole plot is a long shot fight between the old gods, and the new gods. The old gods are any gods which you can think of from mythology. New gods are weird like internet, and media.
I don't generally look for a reason but this went beyond the realm (cliche).
I've not watched the series, and if you're liking it there are chances that this is actually better than the book.
The book ends on a note which I was anticipating, but the whole narrative couldn't build that charisma of a good read with such a huge plot.
I hope there is a sequel to it because you just can't leave it here but I also understand that this has got so twisted you may never know how to end it properly.
Give the book a pass if you can.
