Listened to this on a road trip.  As much as I love these characters...I'm not completely sure this book was necessary?  I want to believe Klune had the best intentions (esps as he self-identified as the anti-JKR) but...it's giving cash grab.  But whatever...I really enjoy this lil world and its inhabitants.  Sal was written better in this book but still at times leaned towards the Magical Negro trope, which I didn't love.  But overall, this was fine.
