I wanted to look away, but I. Could. Not.
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BULLSHIT, ABORT, ABORT!
My mind was screaming this at me, and now I think it's still mad at me over a week later for having finished this bullshit. It wants to be a parody of TMNT which was a parody of comics.
Are we getting meta enough for you?
The thing is, Deadpool gets to feel this way quite often and it's brilliant and hilarious. Instead, this was dumb.
Actually liked most of it! But it's a bit boring in between and I think the hamster scenes should have been more absurd, cute and creepy, those descriptions seemed a bit rushed tbh
NB Shadowplay is the sequel to Pantomime, so this review contains spoilers for that book; I'll put a page break on this review to keep you safe. You can find my review of Pantomime here. It is possible to read Shadowplay without having read Pantomime as the key information about events is reviewed as it is touched upon, but - even though this is better - I would recommend reading Pantomime first.
Also, this book was provided to me for no monies by the kind peoples at Angry Robot/Strange Chemistry, facilitated in this act of goodness/marketing by the mighty NetGalley.
The short non-spoilery version of this review: Yeah. It was pretty good. If your tastes run to YA (which mine don't), make this 4 stars.
