Another fab instalment of this series, and listening to them on audio is so fun. 

 

In particular, the voice Varma used for Diamanda was PERFECTION. 

 

I LOVED Casanunda. Obviously the easiest comparison is to Casanova, but for me he was giving pure Don Quixote vibes – the lying/bragging, being absolutely delusional, comedic but pretty useless. I thought he was spot on honestly. 

 

Also really loved how varied the plot was, and seeing the wizards and witches come together. 

 

Esme provided my favourite quote of the book – “All she could do… was be herself here and now, as hard as she could.”. Magnificent.
