About this listen
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.

Lovely as always!
it's too short, that's my biggest problem! xD
But if you liked the previous books I'd say you're gonna like this one just as much! Though I do think the main plot was slightly better in the previous books I'm looking forward to the next one!

Worst book in a series I absolutely love.
Like the rest of the books it's a fun ride but the ending is awful nonsense. This series is at it's best whenever it deconstructs the classic tropes of certain genres, and for the most part this book is the same as the rest except that it more directly tackles the idea of time travel more than the others.
It's a good concept that could work if the ending hadn't come across so poorly. With the characters, especially Brit, coming across as genuinely stupid at a point.
*Spoilers*
The basic reason as to why Brit brakes up with Phillip makes sense on a spur of the moment emotional level BUT it is shown that she had eight years to think about it. No matter what he says he lied to her because he genuinely thought she would die if he didn't. The only reason he thought that was because she, unwilling to do anything against the timeline, wouldn't put into practice exactly what he was trying to tell her to do. None of this was his fault, it was all her.
She seems like an intelligent enough character to understand this, or a conversation about it with Gwen would force her to.
This makes the writing for the female characters come off as poor since it makes them seem like emotional messes rather than the intelligent women that they are.

Another brilliant performance by Luke Daniels
Another brilliant performance by Luke Daniels. Thrilling and his performanceakes me love the characters. If I would ever read the books I can't imagine any other voice.

Nicely recovered
Still love the concept though it was starting to lose its way a bit in the last books. This is a good recovery back to firmer footing. I especially like the run around for the agents. Nicely done.

Unsatisfying but fun
The story alluded to the purpose of the simulation, and to how it works. Ultimately it was just another pointless lark using already defined events, lore and characters.
Its a shame the series has stagnated like this. A new wizard would have been nice. Even better would be access to another simulation, or solutions to the lead church paradox.
Meh.

Good fun, bad time travel
The reasoning for lack of free will using time-travelling makes no sense, good book though.
