I misread a review a couple of months ago and spent a few blissful hours thinking Shades 2 had been released and I’d missed it, before realizing it hadn’t and won’t be for some time. Fforde’s work ethic seems more at the Pratchett end than Douglas Adams, but he’s apparently committed to new books in a number of series at the same time.
Jane Rawson’s “Wrong Turn at the Office of Unmade Lists” is gently surreal, in a “Fforde-meets-magical-realism” kind of way.
