Angel of the Overpass, by Seanan McGuire
3.0
A good story with many flaws. I read the full series back to back, so these were more blatant for me than others, but there were some serious continuity issues. It felt like the editor was asleep at the wheel.
Additionally, I hated the crossover aspect of this novel. The book had no problem recapping old plotlines and reintroducing old characters from the first two books in the series, but it took searching online to figure out who the Prices, Annie or a few other characters were. I think the idea of stories existing in the same universe is fantastic, but not when it punishes people who have only read one of the series.
Overall, a satisfying conclusion to the series. I just wish the editor had given a few more notes to make the narrative more cohesive.
