I really really enjoyed this. I read Mogworld previously, and I thought it was a bit clunky but still very enjoyable. Jam, however, is a marked improvement. It's got a more energetic pace, better humour, more compelling characters, and was just overall just a better novel. A few of the issues present in Mogworld make their way here, namely the constant locational back-and-forth and the story dragging a little before the final act, but I don't think they're deal breakers by any stretch. Overall, solid recommendation if you're a fan of Yahtz's writing in other avenues.
