4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this one, much more than book 4 in the series. This one makes me want to read another sequel if it will be as enjoyable as this one!
Fuck that ending broke my head. Can't write a review, now or ever, because I don't have time traveling powers. Not sure I'd want the kind of time travel in this series.
I feel like after the slight down turn from last book, Scott completely made up for it with this masterpiece. I couldn't stop listening to this, from the beginning I was hooked.
It was just as funny as the first 3 for me, and honestly this might just take the place as my favorite in the series.

A short instalment in the series, focuses on Philip and Brits relationship. Brit the Elder is having a small issue, and Philip tries to help out. As the Elder is the enemy of the younger, Philip has to do this sneakily, and we all know what that could possibly mean.
Martin tackles the 'Non Jawa' and finds out is is future Philip trying to distract past Philip into not helping Elder Brit. He is also having his own issues with Gwen.
The fight scene was great, and the locals wanting to be wizards (butlers) to Gary is also very humorous.
The ending was very interesting and sets up something for the next or future book.

As I said in my review of Fight and Flight, when you're an omnipotent wizard, the only stakes are whose feelings get hurt. Meyer (IMHO) wisely doubles down on this theme with a book whose stakes are whether the entire universe will be destroyed which it can't, because we know it wasn't and whether Phillip's romance will end in heartbreak which it must, but we don't know when or why . There's a subplot concerning Martin and Gwen, which I was confident would turn out ok, since Gwen is a rational woman who wouldn't up and move thousands of years and miles away rather than voice her feelings and Martin is a mature guy who wouldn't screw up a relationship just to prove a point.
I had a feeling around Book 2 that Meyer was going to paint himself into a corner where nothing interesting could happen in this universe, but he keeps on going. I deeply respect his strict adherence to the rules of his universe, when lesser authors would cheat in order to subvert expectations. Just as Rocket Hat must inevitably clobber the Emperor of the Moon, the rules are the rules, and Meyer makes it funny every time.

Very disappointed in how the female characters were written in this book. Confusing and repetitive time travel rules and outcome of one character left me rolling my eyes. The ending left a spark of hope to overall frustrating book.

Given the other reviews of this book, I fully expected to hate it. But actually, it's... fine? Not the best in the series, certainly, but overall I enjoyed it.
Out of Spite, Out of Mind was more enjoyable than the previous book in the series. However, I still did not enjoy it nearly as much as the first two books. This novel brings back some of the tricky and complicated planning that comes with "magic". It also gets a little more ridiculous than ever before with the characters problem solving skills. It was a pretty problematic book in terms of prose and plot. I might change this to a 2 star after some more thinking, but right now it stands at 3.
3.5 stars, only rating up because I'll keep reading more, for some reason.
Ugh this book. Not as bad as the last one, but dumb in it's own rights. It follows the trope - cliche - or whatever it is that people don't talk to each other, to create needless drama for filler in the books. It really really is starting to annoy me. But, such is books. Annoying as it is. So yeah, Phillip and Brit both annoyed me, Brit is a bitch. :/ Still, the rest is so entertaining. It's a great series to get lost in for wanting something light and fun.
