A review by katrinky
First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde

4.0

The most emotionally complex TN so far. Friday is both a slovenly teenager AND a sophisticated time operative, jenny is a mindworm, and Tuesday makes einstein look like a clot on her bus rides to school. Thursday is 50, working underground for spec.ops, which is her cover for working for jurisfiction, and read rates are in freefall. She's not as fast as she was, and she gets dehydrated when she bookjumps now, but she's as smart, witty, and deeply defensive of the written word as ever. This is the one where aornis is in time loop, mycroft unscrambles eggs, and thursday has two Thursdays for cadets: one evil, and one cloyingly not so.
