This series is full of mystery and adventure, a proper blend of Doctor Who and Sherlock, with wacky scenarios, intense circumstances, and heart-pounding plot. But by this book, it’s more than a couple petty supernatural crimes - it’s a full-blown war with the Moriarty character, mending the veil between the mortal world and the world these creatures come from. Abigail and Jackaby make one heck of a duo when it comes to solving crimes in New Fiddleham, with the assistance of ghost Jenny and cop/werewolf Charlie. What started off as ridiculous good fun in Jackaby developed into something so much more - more than mystery and mayhem and mythology and cultural lore - what it also means to find love and hope in the midst of chaos and destruction. My initial thoughts when finishing this book were “OMGGGGG THAT WAS AWESOME AND UNEXPECTED BUT TOTALLY FITTING AND AHHHH.” Let’s shoot for some coherency now.
