The Good, the Bad and the Uncanny by Simon Green. 275 pp.
Spoilers!
A potentially game-changing volume in the Nightside series. (On the other hand, so was the end of the Lilith War, and yet nothing much changed.) The tone of this book felt odd to me; it seemed like Taylor was an onlooker rather than an actor for much of it. Green is not a good writer, but he is a good storyteller, and a lot of his ability to hold an audience is because of the sheer manic pace of his books; this one's pace seemed off to me. It will be interesting to see whether Walker is indeed dead and/or gone forever, and how much Taylor's role is going to change whether he wants it to or not.
