Critics

Audience

An ex-convict becomes the traveling companion of a charming conman who is secretly one of the old gods. Together, they recruit allies for an impending conflict with a rising generation of deities, while encountering strange stories and supernatural forces across America.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like dark, strange fantasy with memorable characters and elaborate mythology; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, clear storytelling, and tightly focused plots.
