thecaptainsquarters 's review for:
The Song of the Quarkbeast
by Jasper Fforde
Ahoy there me mateys! Yesterday I shared me second reflections of the last dragonslayer and discovered there was a book three in the series that I haven't read! So I decided to remedy that. But of course that meant taking a second look at book two first and giving me crew me second reflections, as it were, upon visitin' it again . . .
This be a fun second foray into the Ununited Kingdoms. Magic is on the rise but there be a fight to see who will control it. And what better way to come up with a winner then a duel! In this case it is Jennifer and the Kazam agency versus their competition, the iMagic agency. There is a bridge that needs to be repaired and each has a half of it to fix. Whoever finishes their part of the bridge first wins? Easy right?
Well maybe not when yer magicians keep disappearing, a quarkbeast is on the run, and silly politics are getting in the way. This was filled with more delightful shenanigans, quirky characters, and absolutely silly situations. I loved to see Jennifer back in action.
While I do think book one is the stronger book, this is still fun if not quite as good. It is just fluffy fun with no bigger purpose. But I enjoyed it and want more. Onto book three! Arrr!
