Whoa, how could I've missed this series. I already had some people recommend these books, but only started after reading uprooted and spinning silver by Naomi Novik. This first book was read in a rush, using most of my free time and commute. The characters, especially the main characters are very charismatic and the pace is excellent. Looking forward to the other 8 books in the series!

@Mountaineerdave had the same experience with the book, very hard to get into.

Didn't get into the story as much as I expected too. Something in the characters which did not evolve in a way that really gripped me. Maybe the constant switching of characters is something I grow tired of if it does not serve a purpose, especially in the beginning of the book, it gets quite confusing and makes it harder to grow into the story. Certainly not a bad book, just not for me, maybe even more to do with my current constant context switching in real life, which made this book extra hard to get into.

Wonderful imaginative storytelling, I really like the idea of a parallel world next to ours.. These stories make me aware of how I looked at the world as a kid, imagining stories behind things you could almost see, but when starring at it vanished. Neil Gaiman catches these stories by the tale (get it..as Mr Croup would say) and builds them into elaborate worlds you can dive into.

As most I did not follow Sinead's career very close, she was hard to follow via media outings only. This testament feels incomplete, but it feels like more than we're entitled to. It was read with dry humour and felt personal, it does inspire to find out more about her music. I'm not religious, never will be, but I do respect the way she talks about her religious beliefs and explaines her personal relation to them. Could it have been more polished, less monotone mentionings, more critical, more ordered, perhaps.. but then it would not have been her rememberings.

Fun tot read in the subway, even if it's not the London underground..
