3.0
I loved the first book, Griffin and Sabine, and sort of wish it had been left as a stand-alone. The next two books, Sabine's Notebook and The Golden Mean, rounded the series out as a pretty darn good trilogy. I really wish he had ended the series there. After The Golden Mean, the books get a bit tedious. The new characters introduced seem like a less interesting version of Griffin and Sabine. There is Good and there is Evil, and neither is very interesting. The two new Good people occasionally write to each other in French, which is all very nice for them, but a translation for the proles would have been appreciated.
Overall, I give the series three stars, as they start as a high four star, and go steadily downwards. However, if you read the books as a series of artwork, and look at the plot as a nice way to tie the pieces together, you may appreciate the books more.
