For another - and this is central to the book's character conflict - Stroud introduces another female character. We're at the third installation of what is at least a four-book series, and Jonathan Stroud is finally starting to deviate just a little bit from his established formula.

He loves making grotesque faces at Holly, but Holly is not aware it is a Type 3 ghost that Lucy communicates with. There is a new spirit of openness in the team now that Lockwood has shared some of his childhood secrets, and Lucy is feeling more and more as if her true home is at Portland Row.As a fan of dark humour and horror this book works perfectly for me in both genres, although you don’t need to love horror to enjoy it as it is such a great adventure.

They are immediately accosted by ghosts, and it isn’t hard to figure out these are what remains of the missing boarders of Lavender Lodge. One of Kipps’ team members is injured and Lucy and Holly try to get him out and not be crushed by furniture being flung through the air by the poltergeist.But since there was so much time between me finishing the second book and starting the third, I completely forgot what the cliffhanger even was.

XD Try as I might, to read about her always left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I really tried my best to stay neutral! This is done by examining the perspective of the sarcastic and slightly egomaniacal djinni Bartimaeus. I couldn’t decide if Lucy was just jealous of Holly because she's starting to like Lockwood or if Holly was just a pain in the ass.Lucy and Holly’s nerves finally give way, and they break one of the most important of all psychic detection rules—Keep All Emotion Under Control. Stroud makes it a clear point, by the end, that both girls are jealous of one another for no reason whatsoever. I’ve picked out two excerpts that made me chortle: Lucy and the Skull have one of their nice chats… Description of Quill Kipps from the Fittes agency.
