Summary

When you discover the world is a computer program, and you figure out that by altering the code you can time travel and perform acts that seem like magic, what can possibly go wrong?

Pretty much everything.

Just ask Brit, who has jumped around in time with such abandon that she has to coexist with multiple versions of herself. Now, Brit the Elder finds that her memories don't match Brit the Younger's. And there's the small matter of a glitch that's making Brit the Elder's body fritz out. Brit the Elder's ex-boyfriend Phillip wants to help her, but he'll have to keep it secret from his current girlfriend, Brit the Younger, who can't stand her future self.

Meanwhile, Martin is trying to protect Phillip from a relentless attacker he somehow hasn't noticed; Gwen is angry because Martin accidentally proposed to her; Gary tries to help the less fortunate, with predictably disastrous results; and an old nemesis might have to be the one to save them all.

In Out of Spite, Out of Mind, our fearless wizards discover the biggest glitch in their world's program may well be themselves.

Confusing at times but just as much fun!

Just as much fun as the other 4 books, gets a little confusing with even more Brits, and a twist in the relationships that I wasn’t actually happy with but it served the story.

Overall another great read in the magic 2.0 saga and I love the musical and movie references sprinkled throughout in this one.

Bad character direction

By the end of this book I wanted most of the cast to be killed off, they became extremely annoying very quickly and for no reason. I'm not even sure how you can recover from a cast nose dive this bad in future books in the series when all the female characters become spiteful shrews and the males passive aggressive idiots.
Awesome performance by Luke Daniels as always was the only reason I have it a 3/5.

Great Next Chapter

First audio book and wow, it was great. I wanted to read the next in this series and was working away so seemed the perfect fit.

Loved it, from start to finish

still going strong

I am quite astounded by how strong this series is still going. The story maintains fresh and funny, while developing the characters. I doubt this is the last book in the series so I am looking forward to the next one!

Britt the angry!

This is a great little book. Back to the good form of the earlier books in the series. Well written and paced and a clever, funny entertaining story. I was sad when it was over so soon. My only gripe is the readers English accent is stolen from a mutated dick van dyke circa Mary Poppins and an apocalypse.

Feel really sorry for Philip now... Can't wait for the next part.

excellent story but worst book of the series

story progresses well with excellent character development. author's take on time travel and the complications it can generate create a wonderful, funny and exciting stage for the characters to shine in.

the only downside to this story is the character Brit. the way she acts and interacts with other characters was really off putting and made this book the worst in the series for myself. she is standoffish and self-righteous and the selfishness she shows later in the book brought my mood and enjoyment down.

despite the issues I am looking forward to the next installment and hoping that the more fun loving characters are brought to the forefront.

Loved it

I really love this series of books even though the plot sometimes gets a bit confusing!! But that’s time travel I suppose!! The ending suggests another book in the pipeline?
