Brilliant

I can't say how much I'm enjoying these books. I read a lot and many books are very similar but these are unique and highly amusing

Oddjobs 4 picks up right where Oddjobs 3 left off, so with a break and a gnat's memory it was a stumble through the first few chapters before I righted myself with the happenings. This book is also split across 3 linking timelines/locales, making the story a bit more complicated than the previous installments.
The tension is amping up as the Soulgate oozes closer, but the splitting of timelines punctured some of that tension for me. I also noticed a number of spelling errors scattered through the book that broke the flow at times.
Oddjobs is still excellent escapism, but this book didn't amuse me like the previous 3 did - hopefully 5 will pick the baton back up when it's released.

Steve the Destroyer is currently riding point as my favourite character, pictured partly like the gingerbread man from Shrek x a cloth doll.
