5.0

A thrilling and utterly bonkers finale to the story that began in Gogmagog. I loved every raucous, rowdy bit of this story as we follow Cady into the heart of darkness and beyond. As in the first book, there is something so joyously weird and boisterous about the characters and even the world here where trees and robots mingle and where we actually get to see a glimpse of our own world, too. My only slight complaint would be that Yanish, who was a big part of book 1, is mysteriously missing from the story except for a brief mention at the end. I'm guessing some kind of editing slip-up in the advance reading copy I read? On the whole though, this duology is one of my favourite things that I've read this year.
