The further adventures of Gerald Dunwoody, Rogue Sorcerer, and his friends Monk Markham, Monk's sister Emmerabiblia (love that name!), and Her Royal Highness Princess Mellisande of New Ottosland. Gerald is assigned to watch the wizards in an airship company, at the same time that Witches, Inc. gets the job of finding a biscuit thief in the same company's front office.Mayhem ensues.Recommended. I wish I could sigh in print...sigh.I read the first in this series and thought it was pretty good. We set up a sort of magic spy agency or something like that anyway. it's not something that fits neatly into a category.Here we're setting up a sort of witch detective agency. It starts out okay but for some reason it just ground down to a stultifying slow yawner. I mean she stays with the humor (though I wasn't as into it this time so much...invisible sprites leaving invisible sprite "poop" all around, including on people, is humorous. Okay).Still I forged onward bored and wishing things would draw me in. We tell our story, reach our climax (which speeds things up a modicum) and frankly I'm relieved to be able to move on to another boo.I don't know. I think the problem here is that book leans very heavily on it's cuteness/humor and this time I wasn't drawn in. I wasn't charmed. Too bad.Will I read the next? I doubt it. I won't be reading it soon anyway. See what you think.

This book wasn't nearly as good as the first one, but still a lot of fun.
