This was an interesting read. Lots of subtle in-jokes for lovers of books, and pun-filled names.
Thursday is not your average heroine, which is nice. She’s witty and amusing, but also has enough flaws and subtleties of character to make her accessible to most readers.
There were parts of the book that I could have done without, that made it feel a bit long. Not big things, but some of the Shakespeare stuff was a little bit excessive.
Another thing that annoyed me was that it felt a little bit like the author was trying too hard to be original. The book was screaming ‘look at me and how original I am’ over and over. Occasionally the plot got lost or fell through a wormhole or something, because it kept switching genres so much.
