(I hope this thread isn't too early)

So, I finished Games Wizards Play last night, and I figured here's as good a place as any to dump thoughts.

It was good. I wouldn't class GWP as the best YW book ever, but I definitely had fun reading it. It has a slightly smaller scope than some of the previous books, which is, I think, a good thing. (You can't save the universe or an entire planet every book, after all.) My only complaint is that having That One directly involved in building up some of the dramatic tension made me expect more conflict in the climax. But that's a minor quibble.

I'd also really like to read some S'reee/Hw'iish fic right now.
