Unlike many here, I haven't read The Sacred Hunt books - I'm reading this series for the first time, and the author recommends reading those next. So, this wasn't exactly the slog for me that it was for others, which I appreciate. I liked how this gave more depth to Jewel's den, and Finch and Teller's new jobs were actually one of my favorite parts here. I also liked this that book, more than the two prior, had an epic fantasy feel. We see more magic, more demons, more big name characters and battles. The world felt so expansive in this one, and I loved that. Plus, even though this is just a brief pause in the series, it actually gives a really emotionally satisfying conclusion to this part of the story, which is always really nice in these longer series.
