really liked it
bookshelves: sf-fantasy

I read half in text and the second half in audiobook. Both good. Read by the author. Slightly slow in getting started though the framing mechanism pays off at the end.

Good Gaiman stuff. Some scariness. Some mythicness.

What transforms this from just a lovely read into something a bit profound are a couple of scenes towards the end where one finds oneself in a sustained felt experience of deep mulitdimensional universal acceptance, and finding out why the protagonist got where he got to in the first place...
