This is a tricky one to review, because it's not really about American gods, or about any of the main characters. It's more a story written to answer the questions, "What are gods, and what happens to local gods when their followers make a home elsewhere?" It was a brilliant concept and a fascinating read. I docked a star because I wanted a more detailed exploration of those questions, and because I'm not entirely satisfied with the ending. Even so, it was well worth the read.
