Masterful. Being aware that this was tangentially linked to American Gods, I wasn't expecting the much lighter and even comedic tone that this novel has, but Neil Gaiman makes it work incredibly well. The story is a brilliant mix between comedic misadventures and the kind of reflections on the nature of Gods and beliefs and stories and songs that only Gaiman could pull off, with plenty of memorable quotes to go around. I think it's also, thanks to its length, a much tighter read than American Gods. I didn't expect any different from one of my favorite authors.
