the puzzles are the highlight of this book for me. i loved that it seemed to expand upon everything that needed expanding from the first book. there are, i would say, too many callbacks to lines made in the book; an exceptional amount of cheese toward the end. 

also, little slut demon boy darlington. i’ll serve you til the end of days is said way too much. we get it, he’s a raging sub.
