A slight change of pace this time. The plot was not based around a mystery, but was more of a problem solving affair. I prefer a mystery if I'm honest, but, if you've been following this series in order, you'll be nicely invested in the characters by now and so will be pleasantly surprised and delighted by some of the progress made in this instalment. There are some very interesting developments. Some people will impress you, some really, really won't.

The setting of the Netherworld didn't make as much of an impression on me as I'd imagined after reading Dulcie's glimpse of it. But, to be fair, she really didn't get the chance to see a whole lot of it, so I will look forward to seeing more of that setting in future books. And judging by certain events, that's a distinct possibility.

4 stars! ★★★★
