I slogged through most of the first fifth or so of this book; I preferred Thursday in her “real” world of the first two books. I was concerned that this third book wouldn’t be as enjoyable as I’d expected it would be. I ended up loving it though, and laughed as much as I did while reading the first two books, and cared as much about Thursday and certain other characters as much as well.

It took me a while to get into this book--the reason, I think, because it started out so differently than the first two. You are thrown into a completely new society that was only hinted at before in the Well. Once I got through that, however, I devoured the novel. Lots of intrigue, politics, murder, mayhem, and other fun chaos to keep the reader reading and slightly off-balance.
