This one has it's slow moments, but the last third is a rollercoaster. Questions get answered in ways you wouldn't expect, and sometimes questions you didn't know you had get answered as well.

Hell of a ride this one.

I loved the first book, and that is what drove me to finish this volume. The plot was fine, the characters ok, but I was constantly distracted by the seemingly infinite varieties of the word "wry" that the author used and the editor let through. I really do think Islington can be a great writer - but as tweeted, I hit a wryly wry threshold of wryliness that led me to screaming into the aether.
