Update (8/1/24):
This book ruined the series for me and I feel extremely resentful.
Original Review (8/27/23):
No substitute for the original book but still fun. Both Feet in the Grave doesn't really deliver what the experience I would want reading Bones's POV. Sure, I enjoyed it, but that's because I love One Foot in the Grave.
Bones's recollections did give me a lot more compassion for Annette. I didn't appreciate before how emotionally intense their relationship was, it was kind of devastating. I almost want to read that story; it made me sad it didn't work out for them. At the very least, this book fleshed out Annette more than just being "the other woman."
Not to mention, Bones and Justina's hostile interactions were absolutely hilarious.
Unfortunately, and I hate to say it, but I actually didn't like the expanded love scene!That was one of my favorite scenes in OFITG and honestly it was better in my head/just from Cat's description. I kind of wish I hadn't read this version.
Like The Other Half of the Grave, Both Feet in the Grave is fine. It stays true to the characters, is faithful to its Night Huntress counterpart, doesn't disgrace the series. However, as I said about TOHOTG, BFITG is nonessential; it adds nothing new. I don't think I will read on in the series, because if I wanted to reread the Night Huntress novels I would do just that.
