This series just gets better. I didn't expect this book to be so Lovecraftian, but actually, it totally fits Cabal's vibe. 

Admittedly I didn't know the Dreamlands was a Lovecraft creation beforehand, but I recognised most of the names of various Beings. This one reads like a video game - there's a quest to complete and the gang run into various other problems along the way. Once again, I was impressed with the how the writing quality improves as the books get bigger and more ambitious. I didn't think much of the side characters though, and was a little disappointed we only got to meet Miss Smith briefly. She seemed cool. 

Although still just as funny, the structure of this book felt too meandering. I do trust the author to stick the landing (and he did), but at one point I remembered wondering where this was going. But yes, the ending. My god, do I love a good time loop. Those last couple of chapters cranked up the depth of this series, and I absolutely loved them. I'm glad I didn't check the titles of the other books in the series, because the cliffhanger was a nice surprise!
