I listened to this on audio when traveling, consequently very tired at times, so possibly would have enjoyed reading in hard copy more.  (I think I missed things.)
Loved the characters, especially Merlin (and his wardrobe).  Also enjoyed the 1983 references, like Swatch watches and the literary references.  I think perhaps Nix is too clever for me unless I'm totally focussed.  Might have to revisit this.

A cracking sequel to the Left-Handed Booksellers of London in which Susan, Merlin and Vivien are pulled into a pocket of frozen time and space and hunted by a malevolent entity that begins to leak into the real world. Full of the same humour and sense of fun that marked the first book, this is a strong follow up. I'm already looking forward to the next book.

Solid sequel to The Lefthanded Booksellers of London. Love the 1980s setting and quirky characters.

Such great fun. These books are the perfect mix of urban fantasy, folklore, and the story of books I ate as a child. 

I'd forgotten how much I love these characters, can't wait for the next one.
