Read 2 times. Last read August 22, 2021 to August 24, 2021.

I've read the comic a multitude of times, so nothing in this book was actually new to me. What the novels do, however, is give the character a lot more debth. It did that very well in this book, especially in regards to the roof-top fight scene that I've had some issue with in the comics.
I also love how it builds in Higgs' story, and I do love the Higgs/Zeetha story arc!
Lastly, the novels tease a lot about what the future will hold for Agatha and her friends, as well as the world. While we already get some of that teasing in the comics, the novels holds a lot more of it.

I have to admit I'm confused at why they would end the book where they did, though. I'd think one more chapter, finishing up in the Red Cathedral, would be a much better ending for a book... But maybe they're afraid of the whole cliff-hanger hate thing going around out there?
That said, as it stands now, I don't feel like there's any clear drive to keep on reading the series - if you're not already a fan - sure, there are some loose threads, but nothing really really big...

I have to make a note on the narrator, thought, as I read the 3 first books but had to listen to this one. The narrator is very good at many things, especially male voices, but something about the way she voiced Zeetha and Krosp grated on my ears soooooo bad. I'm not letting that affect my rating, but I felt I should mention it in case someone else wanted to give the audiobook a go.
