So, just an example.)Īnyways, it's so worth it just to see them interact, but the rest of the plot is fun too, and the hints from the song (some of which I guessed), and the touch of almost-steampunk with an airship and all, and the goblins with their semi-Scottish accents which was so fun to read, and THAT ENDING. It's the BEST! I'd watch a whole movie about them hanging out it's almost not as fun when they have to go do PLOT things. (Like in Avengers 2, my favorite part is when they're hanging out together trying to pick up Thor's hammer, just bickering and having fun.
In a way, big scary mysteries/adventures/problems which constitute "plot" can even take away from the fun of simple character interaction which is my favorite part of some things. It had its share of perils and such, but mostly it was just an excuse for Jackaby and Abigail to go on an adventure together and interact, which was just so much FUN! I think sometimes, some of my favorite character pairings/groups could just do NOTHING plot-wise and I'd still enjoy it. I hardly have anything to say on this one because I don't want to ruin any of the plot, but it was just a rollick and I loved it. I suppose for anyone who reads it who's not familiar with the song, they'd just be like "whaaat?" but since I grew up on old Irish songs and always loved that one, it was simply fabulous. But get this: it's entirely based around trying to find the treasure from the Irish song "Whiskey in the Jar." This kind of totally made my day!!! Just. It's Abigail's birthday, and Jackaby takes her on a treasure hunt with an old map and fantastical things ensue. It's a short, fun read, and has an even different feel than the other two, but I simply LOVED it. *huggles it* Okay, so it's a short story/novella type thing, which is free on Kindle, set between Jackaby and Beastly Bones.
