Will I finish before the Hugo voting deadline? We'll see!!!

things are getting very complex

So many revaluations. Which ones are true?

Right now I'm in the strange position where I am loving the heck out of this book. I am enjoying how it's jumping back and forth (I'm still in part 1). But at the same time I find myself wishing to be further along - I think because I want to know what happens next since we were teased so much in the introductory letter.

Interesting demon rules in this book

LOVE the lampshade hanging in the introduction (why the in-universe author is telling us things that his in-universe audience would know); Love the framing device of a report to the king; LOVE LOVE LOVE the footnotes - it's one of the things that endeared me to H2G2 and Discworld novels. So far really enjoying this book and I'm barely into the story.
