Really, I just enjoyed this book as a learning tool. Paying attention to how the plot and pacing developed and so on. But it was also an enjoyable read. Despite this not being any of my Doctors.

So much happened in this book! It's not my favorite in the series, but I do love a good time travel story. Though this one does get a bit confusing at times and I think I may be tired of Opal constantly being a villain. I mean, isn't there someone else out there?

But yes, a good, quick read that I pretty much breezed through and can't wait to read more about what happened to Artemis and his mom so that I'm heading to the library to snag it. In like, two hours.

I think this one is my absolute favorite of the series, if only for Orion. He's such an amusing guy. There is also something older about this book, as it's not simply a 'let's-save-the-world-adventure', and it's great to see some development in Artemis's character. It's been there previously, but it's rather stark here and of a more serious, adult nature. Which makes sense, seeing as how little Arty is now 15 (er...time gaps aside).

I've read some of Holly Black's works and haven't liked them, but I love the anthology she put together here. The talent is awesome and I love the commentary for each of the stories. No matter if you're Team Unicorn or Team Zombie (I'm the former, but if this was a debate the other side would have to win cuz Justine argued better), you'll enjoy stories involving multiple parts the mythos for both sides.

This is a book I'd reread and gift to my friends.

I really enjoyed this book, especially the relationship between the two main characters. Not quite snarky, but just a hit that had me smiling and my roommate asking my several times. A wonderful world, interesting characters, and plot elements I hadn't seen coming. I can't wait to read the next one.
