![]() ![]() My favorite part of this book is the development of Jurisfiction, which is kind of the SpecOps of the literary world. THAT? Thursday’s uncle invented a machine that allows you to visit with the characters of your favorite books, but it turns out that Thursday is able to do so just by using her imagination. Any events deemed too sensitive are heavily censored, especially Thursday’s reason for traipsing around in Jane Eyre. The Goliath Corporation is a conglomerate that provides almost all goods for the country and acts as at least part of the government as well. ![]() Thursday is a SpecOps agent in the Literary Detectives office (SO-27), and a Crimean war veteran, although the war is still being waged. It’s 1985 in Britain, but with a heavy emphasis on literary greatness. One that resembles a cross between Narnia and the dream episode of Buffy, with some Inception thrown in for good measure. Without giving too much away from the first book, I’ll try to explain the world where Thursday lives. The book opens a few months after The Eyre Affair closes, with Agent Next attempting to evade any further PR related to her heroic feats. The first book, The Eyre Affair, is also an excellent and entertaining read. ![]() From what I understand he has written several different series, of which Lost in a Good Book is #2 for Thursday. Agent Next of course is Fforde’s protagonist and ultimate badass. ![]()
