This book was absolutely amazing. It was clever, thoughtful, poetic, and I really liked several of the characters. The ending wasn't what I wanted, but considering I couldn't really see how it could end I think Miller did a good job of wrapping things up. It might critically be a 4/4.5 star. But my enjoyment of this read (especially with the audio book's killer narrator) was a solid 5 stars.

Would highly recommend it to anyone who likes more poetic and introspective character studies. I would also recommend it if you simply like mythology. However, I think you don't really need an understanding of mythos to get and enjoy the plot and characters.
