I'm going to DNF this audiobook. It was time to return it to the library or renew it, and to be honest I didn't want to spend any more time listening to the audiobook.

I felt uncomfortable with the graphic sexual content in the book.

I often had to rewind to find out what was going on, because I would zone out and miss things because the book didn't hold my attention. Maybe this would have been different if I was reading the physical book?

To be honest, I think the only reason I kept reading this long was because it had a full cast audio narration. The audio itself was good, and I tried to push through, but this book isn't for me.

There are a few things I liked about it, but there were more things I didn't.  I really wanted to like this book (and I rarely DNF books), but in the end, I decided I didn't want to finish it.

It was a book. It is asking to be made into a TV show so I’m really glad they’re doing that on HBO because I feel like that’s the only way that a story as dense as this one can be told without feeling like the slog it did here. The first 9 chapters, 230 pages or so, are thrilling and interesting with Gaiman’s style of throwing you into the hot pan with the MC on full display. Then for some unexplained reason we are removed from the main story line and set upon another much smaller feeling mystery. This sort of detour feels like it’s waiting to be filler episodes.

When we finally get back into the action I told my friend “I feel like this is all building to something but by the time it gets here the books going to be over” and I was not incorrect. The final boss took 100 pages and then we were in an epilogue with very little transition. 

Overall I think I was just too hyped up for this book, for it to work on me. I read it mostly on kindle and there were A Lot of typos which didn’t do much to the sorry for me but could be a problem for some of  y’all.
