Lucifer Morningstar, the fallen angel from Neil Gaiman's Sandman, quits his job ruling Hell and opens a piano bar called Lux in Los Angeles. Mike Carey's series follows his plans, bargains, and quarrels with angels, demons, and humans who want something from him. This first collection brings together the opening storylines of the series.
Readers who enjoyed the Sandman books and who like clever fantasy about gods, free will, and the cost of choices will find a worthy successor here. It rewards those who like layered plots over quick action.
Escapist; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
