All our other favourite and least favourite characters have returned, and some fantastic new characters have been added (love the kids, Scrumpy and Grace). However, I think my favourite parts included the over ambitious Sandy (now a plastic pigeon on level 1 of Hell) and the ever dull and dumb Ian (also a pigeon, also on level 1). Sandy's determination and ambitions do not let hell get him down, the setting only seems to motivate him more. Leading to him bringing together the strangest, most rag-tag group of reincarnated plastic animals, housing human souls, that I have ever read about. Everything that went on with them had me in stitches, especially the sloth, could not stop laughing whenever he finally showed up. Outside of hell we have several other stories falling in to place, waiting to catch up with each other in a mind blowing grand finale. Emorfed is still on the loose, being sold by former Agent 15 to the rich. This leads him right in to the path of the Devil himself, soon enough entwining them to each other as boss and money hungry human. Lucifer also comes in to contact with God, or Baltazaar; and all of their meetings with each other cause strange and dangerous weather phenomenon. They also bicker like an old married couple, over their 'children'. This book is about the war for the human soul. Between Gods and finally between humanity and the Gods (who are desperate to stop a third, neutral Heaven from being created). If you want a great, mind shattering, religious satire, than you need to pick up this series. Full of unforgettable characters, surprising twists, and moments that make you think and question what it is you believe in or want to believe. From free will, God, the Devil, humanity, goodness and the nature of the human soul; this book touches on all of these topics with new interpretations. Cannot wait for book 3!!!! The author, Tony Moyle, sent me this book in exchange for an honest review.
