bookjerm's review against another edition

Another enjoyable installment in this wonderfully delicious series that hovers on the edge of fantasy and horror. JT, the PI who can find anything, is transitioning to his new role as Walker of the Nightside, and as such, must save it. A new and powerful player has arrived and threatens to replace the endless night with endless sunshine. We see all our favorite characters again, Razor Eddie, Punk God of the Straight Razor, ghost boy, and julienne Advent, the Victorian adventurer, Shotgun Suzie (JTs fiancée) among many others. These are always great, fun reads for when you just was to escape and enjoy yourself.

Since Goodreads no longer trusts me to add a new edition when needed, I am writing this here. I listened to an audiobook, not an audio CD. But it's the right narrator, Dan Calley, so this is closer.
The last full-length Nightside book. Still have the short story anthology. I recently read the last book in his Secret Histories series. It was a combo of Secret Histories and Nightside.
I like these books. I may relisten to them again one day. This one ended quite satisfactorily.

Typical Nightside novel, with the usual emphasis on how sinful the Nightside is and how great the protections are here, etc. But I still really liked this book.
It was interesting to see John face down multiple enemies and friends. Green does a good job of subtly showing how something isn't right, and showing, not telling.

I thought this was a good wrap to the Nightside series. A lot of head nods to other series Green has out there. Tying up a lot of loose ends as Taylor conducts his last PI/first Walker cases. One of the few series I have enjoyed throughout.

slow-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

It's a schlocky Simon R. Green book. If you are, like me, twelve books in to this series you know what you are getting. It's not the greatest writing in the world but it's a nice escape and it moves quickly.

So sad for this series to end! But a fitting end it was. I'll miss you John, Suzie, Cathy, Eddie, Dead Boy, Julien, and all the others.

Great story. If you have the rest of Green's Nightside Series then your gonna enjoy this one.

I can't tell if this was supposed to be the end of the series or not. While the story was typical and enjoyable for Green, the ending did not feel like "the end". It felt like it was building for another three part series in which another apocalypse is averted by John Taylor.
