Christopher Moore never disappoints. I was pretty far in before I realized that this was a sequel but it held up fine - no problems following the sequel. It was very educational and funny, which really is my favorite combination.

I listened to the audio book, which was okay but Kia's voice was off-putting to me so that influenced my experience of this book. There was some gorgeous description and writing but overall it didn't live up to the hoopla for me. I'm not sure I'd recommend it but I don't regret listening to it, really. Or maybe what I mean is I think it'd be better read so I do regret listening to it. I really liked the ending.
Lowrain reviewed Book of Night by Holly Black (Book of Night, #1)
Review of 'Book of Night' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I thought this was a clever and imaginative story. Holly Black always impresses, but it wasn't quite the page turner some of her YA books are. Still, I would read a sequel for sure.
