Book Review: Neverwhere

Prior to reading Neverwhere, I have already read several Neil Gaiman books and it’s prolly obvious by now that I immensely enjoyed all his works. As of this review, there’s no single Neil Gaiman book that I did not like and I’m glad that Neverwhere would not be the first time.

Or is it because our protagonist still seems an enigmatic person even until the very end? As someone who prefers SFFs and RomCom stories, the Three Lives of Cate Kay felt so new to me that reading the first few chapters felt weird. At some point, I did ask myself whether I downloaded the correct file because I expected something typical only to be handed with a story centering…
