A review by cardaisy
The Problem Child by Michael Buckley, Peter Ferguson

adventurous dark emotional funny lighthearted mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Relda accent check: still pretty strong but I feel like it's slightly toned down from book 2. Also /definitely/ confirmed she is German, we finally get her and Basil's story here. Snow's voice is still awful, I have no hope for it

Anyway, don't you hate it when
your estranged uncle comes into town and gets you hooked on magic crack? Gotta love a magic-as-a-metaphor-for-addiction plotline


This is one if my favourites and where everything really starts to pick up. It's just so fun, and at this point you know the characters and the world pretty well and everything just *works*. Ngl though those 2000s fat jokes really are something, I feel like you wouldn't really see that today
