Facets
Little facets and clues are dropped Willy nilly, spaced between action and plenty of Australian slang. A fun series - often confusing, but never dull.

A leprechaun is sent (unwillingly and unknowingly) to Australia and told if he wants to come back, he has to kill the kid.
Well, this was the only kid in the area; long-legged and long-haired, it had a hopeful sort of expression to its face. I mean, it was still ugly, but it was ugly in a nice sort of way. It looked like you could pat it on the head without being bitten.
The kid is our Pet - who is way more resilient and capable than expected. Also the leprechaun doesn’t actually want to kill it. Especially after learning who she belongs to.
“Please stop trying to help me!” Every time it tried to help me, things got a little bit worse.
It’s a bite sized treat of The City Between series- which is rapidly becoming one of my favorite urban fantasies.

A short interlude in the main series and something definitely worth the read. It's the first time I got to see things through the eyes of a character other than Pet - in this case, a one-legged leprechaun who gets slated to perform a task he very much did not sign up for and where the failure is banishment to the human world. It made for an interesting view of Pet, to say the least, and the mini (mis)adventure they are forced upon was entertaining. Now I wonder if Five-Four-One will have any reference/ significant role later on in the series...

A Nice Change of Pace
Having just devoured the, currently, four books in the main series Cloudy With a Chance of Dropbears was pretty refreshing. A different perspective and new kind of Fae mixed with a little more lighthearted banter made for a fun read. If you're already reading the series there isn't a bad time to mix this in really as there aren't any spoilers. It's just a fun aside from the main books and quite wirth the time to read.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Five-Four-One is your average leprechaun, minding his own business, until he’s stuck in the human side of Australia (horror of horrors!) with a kid he’s supposed to kill. Oh yeah, and dropbears.
A fun peek into a Behindkind POV. I would recommend reading this between books 5 and 6, like you’re supposed to, since a certain peg-legged character reappears in later installments. :)

I felt like I had to read this one since it’s referenced in the next book. But it was a little bit different and Pet seems a little bit different so I’m not sure how I feel about it but just needed to get it out of the way.
