Review: I'm with The Banned
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 7, 2013
This is the fifth book in The Banned Underground, a hilarious series featuring blues-playing bog trolls (and a dragon), a Dark Lord (the Grey Mage), the Watches (who do the Grey Mage's bidding), and a host of other characters. In The SatNav of Doom, we revisit old favorites (Grizelda makes a welcome appearance and the romance between Dai and Gloria heats up) and we meet the SatNav of Doom. I loved the satnav jokes in the previous books, and having run into my own issues with GPS technology, I thoroughly enjoyed the addition of his new, powerful, joke-cracking SatNav. There are a few running jokes in this book that never get old (at least in my opinion)--the Grey Mage's fear of his wife Poison Ivy, the Watches' dire warnings when one of their own decide to find a girlfriend, the government's ineptitude in handling the economy (horse race's anyone?)--and a few new themes readers will enjoy. Overall, I enjoyed reading this newest addition to the series and look forward to the next installment.(Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review)
