This was a nice sequel/conclusion to this duology.
Ness was little whiny throughout, though I can't really tell if it was more or less than in City of Nightmares. I also wasn't really feeling her "hero"-transformation when she decided to be all brave and strong, but that might be a me-thing.
Yet again, the dialogues were the best part of the book! Brought out the likability of pretty much all of the characters.
Though it's not hard to not like them (except Ness maybe). The characters are not morally grey. They just don't have any morals at all, which turned out to be even better than being morally grey! Made total sense in a city like Newham.
The only part I didn't liked was the missing piece of the Nightmare Phantom's past.
Generally speaking: the setting, plot and writing worked really well for this type of book/series!
It's like the author wrote up some crazy scenarios, let them take place in one spot and made it make sense in a very weird, but mostly funny way.
This is not a series to be taken seriously in any way. I can see people enjoying and having a great time with it!
