It was fine. Weirdly impersonal and removed, unlike all of the books I've read by him. Drops you into a fantasy world and never lets you get your bearings, which is especially disorienting when it keeps dropping hints that it takes place in a world tangentially related to ours with some similar elements (like Hey Jude, etc.) I've heard the rest of the series is better (something even he admits), so I'm excited to get onto the next one!
