I spent about 4/5 of this book wondering whether I should bother to finish the series, and figured maybe I should take a break and read something else afterwards.
I'm not totally sure what happened next, but I picked up the sequel and started reading it immediately after finishing. I guess it's good??

Was more of a casual coffee-table book than I was expecting but still served as a decent intro to the topic with lots of visual aids. I also felt that it curiously never fully explained the reference/joke of the title — they mention letterspacing as a noun but not a verb..

Similar enough to the first that I'll keep going. Felt a bit.. themed but at least it was somewhat justified by the plot.
They're reminding me of Charles Stross' Atrocity Archives in format and pacing, though I will say those get bonus points for the computery lovecraft vibes.

I continue to enjoy the series. Halfway through this book, I swapped to the audiobooks, read by James Marsters, which I'm also happy about. I'll probably continue listening rather than reading.
I really liked Michael as a character in this, though found the way he (and the plot) were introduced pretty jarring. I second guessed myself several times, thinking I had skipped a book.
Some of the writing is a little weird (idk how many times he mentions “the tips” of some character's “firm breasts” but it's definitely several times in the space of a few hundred pages..)

Felt like it took a bit for this one to get rolling after the last-book-induced moping. It ended up being an interesting enough little detective story, though for some reason I couldn't keep any of the faerie characters straight.
