This was a really fun, creative story that took the apocalypse/antichrist plot in a new and interesting way. The format made it a touch hard to read at times - there’s really no chapters, just days and then jumping section in between - so it was a little hard to find a good stopping point some times. Haven’t seen the TV show yet, but imagine I’ll probably enjoy it even more because I can see the story working even better as something watchable. Plus, David Tennant. I’d probably recommend this book to fans of Neil Gaiman or folks looking for a fun, light mythology type of read, but even thought I enjoyed it - hence the high rating - I’m not sure it quite lives up to the hype.
