This feels, in some ways, like the conclusion to a series, but I understand there are more books after this one. Which on the one hand is great, as I'm enjoying reading them, but on the other hand I think I've spent enough time with this particular villain, so if the rest of the series involves any kind of resurrection or miraculous survival on his part, I shall find it harder to be enthused.

That being said, the constant movement from loop to loop here doesn't feel as frenetic as it might, which is good. The most appealing thing about these books is the setting, which is something of a kaleidoscope - lots of different loops repeating the same day - but there's the risk, I think, of that fantastic setting overwhelming everything else, so all credit to the author that it doesn't do that. The balance of elements is very well-judged. I like that Jacob's parents get some closure here, too, albeit not the sort they would likely prefer... because it's always there, underlining his adventures, isn't it, that his mum and dad are frantic about their missing child. 

Anyway, I don't think I'm as excited about Addison the talking dog as the author is (I would far rather have more Bronwyn) but this was still a fun read, and I've already put a hold on the next one in the library.
