This is just cozy fun at its best. There’s very little stakes, but it still tells a story and leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy throughout.

This series is truly a standout of the entire genre. Every book peels back the curtain just a little bit more and gives further insight into this insane world the author has created. The sheer amount going on raises questions of just how it’ll all eventually be tied up, but for now I’m just enjoying the ride.

I don’t know if I’m misremembering the earlier books in this series or if they were the same and I just didn’t pick up on it, but the constant references, childish humor, and little “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” moments wore me down this time. I’ll probably keep reading the series because it feels almost complete, I feel dumber for having read this.

This was good. Really good, even, but it just wasn’t what I wanted from the story. The book is heavily character-driven and damnit if I wasn’t waiting for the plot to happen the whole book. I think anyone who appreciates history and intrigue will really enjoy it, but just be aware of what you’re going into.
