Can't wait for the next one, although I'm nervous to see how things with Rowena turn out.

I really don't understand why I put myself through the ludicrousness of this world. Like seriously! At least it didn't feel like a big mess of ideas like America was, though I couldn't help but exclaim out loud, "But of course Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson, and Lestrade would pop up, why not?!"

I got to enjoy the story a lot more when I felt like the world stopped exploding in my face with slightly twisted versions of what we know (I'm still slight battered from book 2). I was so very grateful when things settled.

Surely the two gentlemen in the sewers was a nod to Gaiman's Croup and Vandemar? They threw off the really similar vibes.

Poor Rowena.

This book is a nice end for the story, tying up lose ends and exploring something that we have been teased about since the first book. I, however, did not get into a reading flow with this book and I kept stopping after a chapter or two. Maybe I'll read it again later to see how I'll like it then.

A lighthearted steampunk read with a nod to Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.

I enjoy these, but they consistently don't quite work for me in a lot of ways.
