Must confess: I'm jelly of people who can just whistle past this graveyard of flaws. They must enjoy a level of immersion my skepticism disallows. This doesn't play by its own rules and I refuse to nod along like a thrall. Ever read a Superman comic and thought, "Why doesn't he use X,Y, or Z power instead? That's me with Skafloc, the whole time. And where's the dumb sword?

Are humans the center of the universe? They frikkin' must be because fay have no <spoiler>souls. Apparently, they are little more than murder hoboing, wallpaper paste, apparitions? </spoiler> How could they not be when the Norse and Fay pantheon are making a mythos sandwich with "The White Christ: Jesus."
Ultimate World Build FAIL.
Echoes of Neil Gaiman? Witch seen again in Conan the Barbarian?

Lost count of the errors, how can they have no fear of gods when Odin went hoofing by, earlier. Such hubris! Such complete disregard for self editing, even though he rewrote it. I'm now reading this as I would an epic poem, knowing full well: it sucks, it's contradictory, but somehow people still insist it's important.

This book is self-contradictory already. Even though it's the sixteen years after, update. I don't like how it reads like 60's Sci-Fi. If it weren't appendix-n, I'd give it coin toss odds as a DNF. I hate it when the world falls apart in the first ten pages. Now, I'll be looking askance at it for at least another ninety pages. Yech.
