The Sinister Booksellers of Bath by Garth Nix
5.0
5/5 stars.
I am really enjoying this series. Set in a slightly alternative 1980s England, I really love the allusions to the rise of modern technology. Things like Vivien describing how she'd like to switch the bookshops inventory to Excel, makes it that much more grounded in the timeline, or how Pet Semetary by Stephen King is a 'new release'. Merlin and Susan find themselves in the quagmire of the Old World again, a place Susan thought she'd left behind. Facing down Sulis Minerva, an Ancient Sovereign capable of statue reanimation. Susan also battles with her heritage and what it means to claim her father's legacy.
