Took me some time to get back to this one. Ot definitely wasn't as good as the first book, but it wrapped up the story neatly (better than the first), and laid down the bricks for an epic conclusion to this series.

So. This is a bit of a mixed feelings for me. I actually put the book down and didn't pick it up again for a long time; and all because of the heist plot which the book starts with. I actually had the same problem with Mogworld, sure there weren't a heist plot, but there was a point in the book where it dragged just too much before it came back around.
Now, if I had actually read one more page from where I put it down, I would have discovered that there was literally only one page left of the heist plot and then the book goes back to being just as good as the first one. It didn't top the first one, even ignoring the heist, it was more of the same; and I like that. A story doesn't have to get better (or worse) with each …

A story doesn't have to get better (or worse) with each sequel, as long as they stay consistently good, I'm happy, and this one surely did!
Yahtzee Croshaw is one of those authors who stays consistent. Everything he writes is good in some way or another. It's an author you can trust to always deliver a good experience; which is something rare.
So, because of the heist that went on for far too long (pretty much exactly 100 pages). I can't say this book is his best, but it is definitely consistent with the previous installment in the series, and I am eagerly looking forward to the next in the series.

aaaaalmost as good as the first book. there is nothing i disdain more than a heist. it bored me so hard i ended up putting the book down for a good 2 months. funny thing that, as when i did pick it back up, it turned out that the heist nonsense actually ended on the next page... oh...
once past the heist part of the book, the rest was just as good as the first one, i wouldn't say better, just more equal than above. it didn't feel like it tried to "top" the previous installment, just continued the story where it left you, more or less. i am hoping there will be a third one, and i am hoping the last spoiler was a foreshadow.
giving it 4/5 stars because of the damn heist bit.
