This fourth entry in the series feels somehow different to the previous three. The plot, although still adorned by silly digressions, is stronger and more present than it was in the previous books. The story focuses mainly on Arthur and we can observe a clear shift in him as a character. For the first time his role is not limited to being a reminder for us readers of the absurdity of the events that the characters are thrown into, but his character receives instead some depth and semblance of growth. To be honest I liked the fresh feeling brought on by this change of pace; yes, the story follows a very classical construction that we have all seen hundreds of time but it does so with Adam’s creativity and genius helm and that will always be a recipe I feel comfortable recommending.
