This is probably my favourite of the series so far. Love a good boat!

This was super interesting. There's a lot of things this talks about that I already do, but this provided me with the vocab to elaborate on why I think it's a valuable mindset. I realized that almost all of the people I admire the most also have ways of thinking that align pretty well with the advice it gives.

Very mammy chicken fillet role immersion Irish humour, but good fun all the same. Very much an easy, entertaining read.

Reminds me a lot of Darren Shan's demonata series, but with Landy's classic excellent humour. Very fun, freaky,  and a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy

Very enjoyable read. Highly compelling plot and structure that got its hooks in me early and kept me reading compulsively to find out what was going to happen next. 

I did feel like the pacing at the end was a bit off, however, which is the main aspects preventing me from rating it higher than a 4. But overall, thoroughly enjoyable.
