This was a nice change in pace from the other two books (and a much needed break from all of the sad books I've been reading lately), but it still feels like the continuation of more side quests. Not that I don't find that enjoyable. I just don't think this series will ever be something particularly special to me

I've been reading this series over the course of the past year and then some. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, but the more I read, the more it dissolved into a fever dream. I treaded on because of the comedic absurdity, but I could not have explained the plot to you (if there even was a plot). I also found it kind of sad that for a book dealing with literal aliens, somehow earthly stereotypes and sexist jokes continued to make an appearance. oh well.

Returning once more to this series was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

“There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties.”
