I am and will always be a sucker for books about books. And while this is not Jasper Fforde (and even Fforde is not really ffording these days as he did in days of yore), it is a very fun story about stories and what they are for.
I do have many many MANY remaining questions about the mythology/cosmology/theology of this universe because it can't seem to decide if it's aiming for montheism, monoloty, or a smorgasbord of the Divine and I just have questions.
On the flipside of information, if you are the kind of reader who gets very annoyed when something is obvious, but the characters have not yet worked it out...this book may annoy you.
So many questions that I somewhat regularly got distracted from the book by wondering about them.
But on that I DO digress. And I did have a lot of fun listening to this one.
