OMG they just met their son from the future

No the Colonel doesn't have marijuana at his table, the UK call a potted plant a pot plant

Once again Fforde immediately addresses this sudden burst of misogyny as a way for her to get away from her kidnappers but still

Wow, some astonishing misogyny from Thursday as she calls her rival a gold digger and a tart. She also called her mother a tart.

Considering Thursday has a decidedly traditionally masculine personality it's nice to see some small amount of vulnerability here at the very end

I am legitimately confused about how we're getting details of what happened after the book considering Rochester was telling us how it worked earlier, maybe I wasn't paying enough attention?

Oh. I just had a sneaking suspicion about Hades, and every time I bitch about something Fforde has a response to it

Mr Fforde is not known for his beautifully written sensory details, but you think he could have tried harder once she was inside the book
