This is a cool tale about a monster hunter investigating a mysterious death. No spoilers, but I enjoyed the mystery, characters, and world. The audiobook narration was great. I’ll definitely check out the next book in the series.

This is vaguely reminiscent of Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds in terms of the general plot, but wrapped in a tale of revenge with some not-so-subtle messaging about war. Every aspect of this story is brutal and tragic. I looked more into the Bosnian War after I finished reading, just to see how accurate the story is in terms of corruption and crimes against humanity. Turns out the looting, profiteering, rape, and torture were all common and systemized. While most characters are a little one-note and some of the writing is clearly lost in the English translation, this story does capture the horrors of the war through a protagonist losing his humanity and becoming the embodiment of the fallen country around him. It's shocking, visceral, and frank in its honesty.

I’m not entirely sure what just happened there but a few people got laid and it had some talking cats so... five stars.

Great, but the audiobook isn’t ideal.

As much as I love Felicia Day’s frenetic narration and enthusiasm, this is a workbook and the pdf is necessary if you don’t have the paperback. It’s not the sort of book you listen to while driving or at the gym, so it really makes more sense to read a hard copy.

I was hooked from the first paragraph. This story is fun, fast, and action packed. I loved it from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

The low brow humor is the star of the show here, which is generally amusing. Tidbits of lore and a few fun character moments round out the entertainment value. I really wish the climatic battle and Loki’s scheming had been stretched out and more complicated. As is, this is a fun, juvenilely humorous romp, well delivered by its narrator.

Highly recommended. This is a hauntingly beautiful read. Everything I've come to expect from Gaiman's writing. I've read it and listened to the audio book and can recommend either format. Neil Gaiman narrates his own audio books and has a soulful, soothing voice that adds so much to his already beautiful fiction.
