I really enjoyed all the others in the series, and it is nice to not have a trilogy, as you so often find. I didn't think that the plot was quite as strong in this book as the previous ones. There were a couple of chapters that I could not work out why they were included, and i really didn't get the Mister Boots part. IT is a pointer to the human waste and destruction of the world, and the underlying point is that we should respect the planet as we do not have a complete idea of the damage we are doing.
That said, it is a great urban fantasy world that he has created. I hope that he writes some more on stories set in this world. ( )
