I'm two for two with loving this series.
Things that Felix Castor has in common with Johannes Cabal:
Outsider even among his own profession
Strained relationship with better-adjusted older brother
Person from their tragic past he wants to save
Friendship with a demon/succubi
When it comes to literary boyfriends, I guess I have a type.
Once again, the story is impeccable with a well-drawn villain and some fantastic twists. It was more action oriented than the first book in the series, [b:The Devil You Know|663098|The Devil You Know (Felix Castor, #1)|Mike Carey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442602181l/663098.SY75.jpg|1936254]. Felix himself engages in frequent violence (in self defense). Maybe he's been working out? Despite the bolder, faster Castor, Carey maintained the same level of depth and development.
It was o.k. I laughed a couple of times and I mostly wasn't bored. I'll read another.
There is a lot to like here, but the best part is the fantastically satisfying way that Carey wraps things up. I love a good ending and this has one. Yay!
