A bit of floundering in this one, I kept wishing it would hurry up and get to the point. It got better towards the end though, and I'm looking forward to the last book in the series.

As Leven, Geth, Winter and Clover try to save Foo, they are separated and have to fight not only for their own lives, but for those in Foo and reality. Leven is driven by the Want to accomplish what is needed to save Foo, yet what Leven doesn't know is that he is being deceived. The Want is tired of carrying all the dreams of reality, so he uses Leven to get someone new to carry the dreams.
This hasn't been my favorite in the series so far. It continues the story well, engages the characters, and sets up the next book. However I found it slower to get into than the other books so far.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and the story is really good... but you can only go on for so long with a series without it getting boring.
There were some great parts to this, and I'm glad I read it, it just wasn't my favorite ever.

My favorite of the series so far! The fantasy of Foo is still pretty weird, but after three books it beginning to grow on me. I enjoyed the few paragraphs of descriptive commentary at the beginning of each chapter, and I appriciate the humor. Also, the author is keeping the story going in "reality" as well, and it's fun to picture the land of foo and the real world on a collision course--maybe some of the detestable, rotten characters will have opportunity for redemption in the end.
Three stars because the fantastical land of Foo is just too far removed from reality for me to become completly engaged. It's like my imagination has a hard time getting to the places the imagination of the author has gone. There's still two more books to read, hopefully I'll get there soon!

The imagination is pulled through this whole story. I love how on one page there can be a description of a complete world and on the next another complete scenario that is so detailed and perfect that the mind can easily follow. My favorite was Rast checking on the key. LOL I would never check on it either!
