Not as good as his others, but still brilliant. It gets much better toward the end.

The most emotionally complex TN so far. Friday is both a slovenly teenager AND a sophisticated time operative, jenny is a mindworm, and Tuesday makes einstein look like a clot on her bus rides to school. Thursday is 50, working underground for spec.ops, which is her cover for working for jurisfiction, and read rates are in freefall. She's not as fast as she was, and she gets dehydrated when she bookjumps now, but she's as smart, witty, and deeply defensive of the written word as ever. This is the one where aornis is in time loop, mycroft unscrambles eggs, and thursday has two Thursdays for cadets: one evil, and one cloyingly not so.

A good follow up after the mostly languishing previous two books. Here Thursday visits both the book world and the real world but in new ways and with new twists that make the series fresh again.

Thursday Next is back, fourteen years after the events in the last book. Thursday is no longer a literary detective but still works for jurisfiction, though she keeps it a secret from her husband Landen. At jurisfiction, Thursday is training a new cadet,her written self and at home has to deal with being a mother of teenagers.
I enjoyed this book and all the silliness but felt that there may be too many storylines crammed into it and at times got a little confused, but I'm looking forward to the next installment
