ninjamuse 's review for:
The Unwritten, Vol. 6: Tommy Taylor and the War of Words
by Mike Carey
In brief: Tommy Taylor’s been pushed to the limit by the Cabal and now he’s fighting back. Also includes backstory and more pieces to the puzzle. Sixth in a series.
Thoughts: I’ll confess, I was a little more there for the backstory sections than for Tommy taking the initiative, but I was also rooting for the guy and the backstory helped with that. There have been neat bits of book-based magic throughout the series, but here, in this volume, everything shoots to a whole new level, and it was great. And Carey’s gift for sprinkling the weirdest references into the book and making them make sense within the world-building is still going strong. Really enjoyed this one, and am wondering what will happen next. I’m sure Carey will keep surprising me.
8/10
