The Fall of the House of Cabal (Johannes Cabal, #5)

This is seriously the only book that I have actually felt like reading in a long time, and I am so glad that it didn't disappoint. Howard was at his very snarkiest throughout, to the extent that the preface was even enough to make me laugh out loud several times. Alright, I wasn't in love with the reappearance of Leonie, but the other supporting characters were magic (both figuratively and literally, now that I think of it.) Zarenyia in particular was almost always perfect, which is kind of surprising to me, but somehow Howard made it work.
My only real issues with this book is the fact that the author has said that it may or may not be the last book, it depends on how he feels. That doesn't quite work with me in this case, being that (view spoiler)
Oh, and one tiny little issue, George, Duke of Clarence, was not a rival of Richard III, he was his older brother. Richard was the youngest son, and all of his brothers were dead before he took the throne. George in fact actually rebelled against Edward IV more than once, and constantly undermined him, so it was in fact that king that had him executed. But other than that, the history was basically spot on.
