A really good one. It took me a bit to get into it, but about halfway through, the humor really cuts in and it was easy going the rest of the way. Definitely dark, but Bonedog is a sweetheart, the grumpy/sunshine old ladies go off into the sunset, and the demon hen will continue to rule. I realise this makes no sense to anyone who has read the book, but I don’t care. Don’t name your demons, kids. But naming cursed chickens is fine.
