Review of 'Johannes Cabal the Necromancer (Johannes Cabal, #1)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I bounced off this book in my first attempt to read it. This time around I did finish, though I don't expect to continue with the series. There's some fun wordplay and I liked some individual scenes (croquet and a MacGyver-style water clock in a pocket dimension was a high point), but after spending a book with Johannes Cabal I don't care what he gets into next.
