This second book didn't grab me with its charm like the first one did. When my library time ran out, I just returned it. May come back to it later.
This is the first non academic book I've read since I started working on my thesis. It was one of my rewards for turning it in and well worth it too! Loved every minute. I was so happy not to be reading about esoteric religions, Rudolf Steiner and Swedenborg. This was just plain fun!
Just like the first one, started slow and ended with a bang.
Love love love! I have yet to read a book by Japser Fforde that I do not like!
Very entertaining and fun. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because Fforde seems to be recycling some concepts from the Thursday Next stories without referring to or showing any relationship to them. They work well in this story but seem less than original.
Quel dommage que la suite n'ai jamais été traduite !
Even more fun than the last one; I really enjoyed getting to know all the other wizards of Kazam even better. This book was laced with the sarcasm and humor I've come to expect from Jasper Fforde and has made me appreciate him as an author all the more. My only regret is that the third book in the series is not out yet.
I didn't have the patience to wait for this to be released in the US, so I ordered from amazon.uk. Loved it. I wish I had my own quarkbeast, although I sort of do. Can't wait for the Mighty Shandar!
Ahoy there me mateys! Yesterday I shared me second reflections of the last dragonslayer and discovered there was a book three in the series that I haven't read! So I decided to remedy that. But of course that meant taking a second look at book two first and giving me crew me second reflections, as it were, upon visitin' it again . . .
This be a fun second foray into the Ununited Kingdoms. Magic is on the rise but there be a fight to see who will control it. And what better way to come up with a winner then a duel! In this case it is Jennifer and the Kazam agency versus their competition, the iMagic agency. There is a bridge that needs to be repaired and each has a half of it to fix. Whoever finishes their part of the bridge first wins? Easy right?
Well maybe not when yer magicians keep disappearing, a quarkbeast is on the run, and silly politics are getting in the way. This was filled with more delightful shenanigans, quirky characters, and absolutely silly situations. I loved to see Jennifer back in action.
While I do think book one is the stronger book, this is still fun if not quite as good. It is just fluffy fun with no bigger purpose. But I enjoyed it and want more. Onto book three! Arrr!
