Wow. 5 stars just for pure originality, keeping the plot line straight, and sheer fun. There are so many moving parts to this story, nefarious characters doing dirty deeds and Mad Maud in the midst of it all making sure the devil gets his due, she was a really sympathetic character. The bad guys are truly awful in this book and there were some really great gotcha moments that I wasn't expecting. The cast of characters really added to the fun as well. This was just an absolutely fantastic book, the way the bad guys are brought down is sheer delightful unique fun, and its all wrapped up with a nice conclusive red bow which I always appreciate. Great read! Thanks to Bookish First for the opportunity to read!
