Well, this was sort of unexpected. Ferman's Devils was a very fun, light read, despite the ever-present darker elements. This second tome more or less cuts out the "fun, light" bit, in favour of expanding on said darker elements. You may have noticed that, despite the gang's alleged brutality, you never actually see them kill anyone. Here, you see them make a whole lot of people die. In addition to that, the company comes across as much more evil, and Boddekker's ladylove is much more cold, cynical, and generally repulsive. It's still a good read, but it's certainly a shock.

Faust's second book in the "Pembroke Hall" series is as scathing and wickedly hilarious as it's predecessor "Ferman's Devils". Beleaguered Boddekker jumps from the frying pan into the fire while all around him turn up the heat! The author hasn't let his fans down one bit. Anyone looking for their "daily Jones" of Faust satire will be pleased.
