after hearing so many good things about this series, I'm finally starting it.
it's quite dense, plot-wise, and I'm still not sure if this sexy immortal-man-of-mystery is supposed to be a hero or villain (I'm imagining a mix of Neil Gaiman himself with a heavy dose of Alan Rickman's Snape) but I'm enjoying the romp so far. this was a huge volume - 600+ pages - and I didn't look ahead to see how many volumes there were, so imagine my oh cripes! reaction when I finally saw there are 5 volumes. so this will not be a quickly achieved goal.
