5 stars for this line:

“So which religion is the best? Well, it depends. In my cultivated opinion, I’d suggest Judaism. But that’s because I prefer the path of yeast resistance.”

Am I too easily entertained by bad puns? Possibly.
Also there is a quote from The Princess Bride.

This was a fun addition to the series, but was very much a "middle book." I still enjoyed Alcatraz's wit and turn of phrase, but the story felt less comfortable and more forced. Loved the ending, though.

Brilliant. Hilarious. Fun.

Not much else to say…

Best of the group so far. Writing style is still annoying, but less so in this volume. Good development, good twists, and I absolutely loved the reference to wheel of time's Asmodean.

Zoomed through this one- just as great as all the past ones, and loved the new characters!
