I chuckled a lot while I listened to this book. It’s funny in all the right ways, and the real danger brought by the Angel of Death gives the books some solid suspense. Plus, the tension about the impending birth… when will it happen?!?! Great stuff.

I think my favorite elements of the plot are the bringing together of the different magical factions and the addition of The Sons of Weyland. Aaronovitch continues to expand the River’s world in breadth and depth. I hope the wait for the next one isn’t too long.
