3.8 stars.

A story that descends into magical mystery and chaos before you even realize what's happening. I enjoyed this so much more than I did American Gods, while the take on magic was somewhat similar it definitely wasn't as depressing (though the whole plot was rather a seven-year-old's worst nightmare). I just really enjoyed the odd little look at the family of women and their magical 'ocean' at the end of the lane. A thoroughly engrossing read.
