This is my second Witches novel, after Carpe Jugulum, so I am a little out of order here. I actually enjoyed it a bit more. I think I'm starting to understand that the Witches novels seem like they're more about character hijinks through a familiar story and less about wowing you with plot. I don't really mind that -- I'm generally most interested in character interaction as a reader. I guess I just feel this novel is a little more successful at balancing the different elements than Carpe Jugulum did, never letting a joke outstay its welcome.
