Another terrific read from Osman. I'm excited to still have one to go, plus a new one coming out in September. P.S. Kendrick is delightful.
I don't want to say that I liked this more than The Ninth House, but...maybe I did? All I know is that I can't wait to see what happens next.
I've seen this compared to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Westing Game, and The House in the Cerulean Sea, all of which are completely accurate. And since I love all those things, it's no surprise that I loved this, too.
I look forward to more entertainment from Viktor for as long as this series continues. And I will read it as long as it continues, because it brings me so much joy.
This was one of those books I wanted to read quickly so I could find out what happened but also wanted to savor. My only complaint about is the unnecessary love interest stuff. Stop that, writers.
