But it has some bad ones too, like obvious and repeated foreshadowing (I think I counted 10 mentions of the same event) and an over-reliance on puns for laughs. They can be funny, sure, but that sort of humor starts to get old really quickly. But it’s a fun read, and has a sequel. I love books with sequels for the same reason I like TV more than movies – I like to stay invested in the same characters for as long as possible.
