pickWhat a great conclusion to this series! I‘m so glad I read these.
There are whole Jasper Fforde series out in the world that have past me by, unnoticed… I saw this when I was perfect ordering the YA section today (featuring my messed up index finger. I try not to look at it.)
I love Jasper Fforde but I did forget about him for a second there (when is the last nursery crimes book coming out?!)
pickI liked this conclusion to the Last Dragonslayer series. It‘s very Ffordean, all the way down to his own cameo as a fantasy writer brought in to imagine the villain‘s plans, since fantasy writers can always come up with something bigger and bolder than anyone else could imagine. 😂 It‘s a bit light on emotional connection/depth for me, which is the same criticism I had with the previous book. But it‘s a fun YA novel in true Ffordean style.
‘Tell us a weird idea you‘ve come up with that‘s *totally* out there.‘
…
‘…a book about Humpty Dumpty as a police procedural.‘
‘I think that‘s been done,‘ said the Troll. ‘Everyone‘s always retelling nursery rhymes…‘
‘How about a social order based wholly on the strength of your colour vision?‘
‘Better,‘ I said. ‘Is there a sequel?‘
‘Don‘t you start.‘
😂🤣 THAT‘s a Jasper Fforde move if I ever saw one.
