Sad this is the last book in the series, but it was fantastic. Emily has to be one of my favorite fictional characters. Wendell is such a sweetheart. I‘m not a dog person, but I can feel Emily‘s attachment to Shadow and her concern for his aging. Super scary when Wendell died. The dynamic between Emily and Wendell is so fun. Ell Potter‘s reading of the story is fantastic as ever.

1. We do not care that we missed Wednesday.

2. We do not care that our sectional sofa has a huge tear in the fabric and little dog bites in the foam. We are too cheap to buy new furniture, and so we ordered this book nerd blanket off of Etsy to cover up somebody's shame. We like it better than a new couch anyway!

dabbe I L🐾VE everything about this! 🩶🤍🖤 and the blanket is perfect. That was all your pup wanted, right? 3w

My main issues with this book are the inconsistencies, on top of my general dislike of Emily. The story meandered too much and felt longer than it should have been. There were too many times when Emily had to get to a plot point and then make a B line because suddenly there was another thing going on, and things needed to be adjusted. Or some fairy nonsense was happening to foil her plans.

Doppoetry This was definitely better than the second book, but not by much.

Emily continued to be insufferable and berating scholars who are more experienced than her, and then also complains that they act like they are better than everyone, and are snobbish. Have you looked in the mirror lately, Emily?

Doppoetry In most cases, I think MC deaths are a cheap way for authors to evoke emotions from the reader, but for this, I think it would have made the book better if Wendell had stayed dead. It would have made a far more compelling story narratively.

I was also rolling my eyes at Wendell saying how immortality magic isn't really a thing, but it easily could have been if there were consequences to that instead of relying on “well it's too implausible“

Doppoetry In a world where the fey constantly mess with mortals, and magic is a thing, and there are plenty of Slavic folklore about an immortal being, but sure it's TOO out there. 🙄

Anyway, I'm so glad I'm done with this series.

I‘ve had this on my TBR for a while after reading Dear Committee Members a few years ago. This is satire but still familiar to anyone who has worked in higher ed or who has traveled with a group. I really enjoyed it! The MC is just a grumpy as before but he becomes more endearing as this one goes on. #JumpStartSummer

This is my Russo haul from Kzoo Books both of which I have previously read but are in line for a re-read. Straight Man is hilarious, probably his funniest book and the one I am currently reading.

My husband and I finished this one over the weekend. It took longer than usual because we took turns reading it to each other, but it was worth the wait. Another excellent book about Emily and Wendell! The plots in this series continue to get more and more complex. I‘d say this was three times more complex as the first one. So much happens in this one. I will definitely have to reread someday. Highly recommended!
