Reviews
This lighthearted second installment (after 2007's The Man with the Golden Torc) in the adventures of very secret agent Eddie Drood follows the former rogue and reluctant patriarch as he struggles against enemies within and without his temporally extended family. Fighting against the Droods' stiff-necked traditionalists and their previous deals with various devils, Eddie finds ways to combine the magic of his girlfriend, woods witch Molly Metcalf, and cousin Harry's hellspawn half-brother and lover, Roger Morningstar, with the high-tech gadgets of the family Armourer to save the world from an intrusion of the Hungry Gods. Other than some page-long character-developing digressions, the pace is fast and energetic, which keeps attention off the occasional giant plot hole. Green loves the wide-screen splash of cinematic battles against zombie hordes, and genuine traces of tragedy and nobility underlie the nonstop punning banter and pop culture references, lending surprising nuance to this merry metaphysical romp.

After exposing corruption and backstabbing in his family and causing the loss of its greatest weapon and protection, Eddie Drood doesn’t have the old guard’s backing to lead the clan. Still, having demolished forces sent by the prime minister to test the rumors about the Droods losing their golden armor, he feels obligated to reunite the family in its mission of protecting the world from things too nasty to mention and to lead long enough to prevent a relapse into corruption. But he chooses to go after the Loathly Ones, who plan to destroy not just the world but the universe. Although hit-and-miss for a while, a fun read. --Regina Schroeder
