The books keeps getting darker.

I have a lot of praise for this instalment. I really like how some plot threads that were set up in the book one and two find their conclusion in the book three. This series manages really well to carry some storylines in way that their conclusion is the right mix of surprising and making sense. My favourite ones were lymrill, Cooper and Bram, and I cannot wait to see the continuation with Sikes, Connor and Mina.

Also this book is quite long and it covers two years and it does a really good job of it feeling like it really was two years without dragging. I also like how the characters change with circumstances (some) and some stay constant. Looking forward to venture to unknown territory with the fourth instalment.

It's too bad. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, thought the second one was pretty good, but I could barely be bothered to finish this one. I'm not sure the quality is actually declining, it may just be that my interest declines the further it gets from the original premise (which was basically Harry Potter with Irish and other mythology thrown in). Max is really not a very attractive character any longer, or a very interesting one--exotic origins aren't enough to make a basically boring and unsympathetic character interesting to me. That isn't to say there aren't some nice bits, because there are, and I think if the main character were someone I had a little more sympathy for, that I might have really enjoyed this.

I thought this book actually got better as it went. Not quite 4 stars, but better than the first 2 in the series. Some good developments to the story.

I cannot even begin to say how great this series is! The harector development is incredible, and the story has gotten better with every page. You can see the author improving with each chapter, and each page is even better than the next. Anyone who speaks English will love this series!
