This book is from where the whole freaking plot really starts to pick up!
And of course I love it, we get to see Pedro whom I shall forever protect. But well I'll protect almost all of the five even though they don't need protecting, lol.
The plot was a little slow but still pretty interesting and gah I love the Inca plotline so much. I rated 4 star because there was less of Pedro and Matt than I remembered? And boy Matt is really slow on getting a rip over his powers but I definitely am here for it.
ALSO THAT INCA DAGGER GAH, I HAVE PTSD
(This is a re-read so I'm referencing to a huge spoilery scene in the last book)

Honestly, Matt is like the only character I care about in this series.

Not as good as the first to me. But I still love Horowitz, and this series is perfect for spooky season.
I will FIGHT anyone who says it's too young for them. They can eff off.

A bit scary, but interesting none the less. I liked the Inks and the fact that the second of the Five was found, but I didn't enjoy the ending so much. I am, however, aware that this is not the last book in the series.

Evil Star starts off mere weeks after Raven’s Gate ended. Matt is the protagonist yet again and you follow him on a journey to Peru as he tries to stop the opening of the second gate.
The book is steeped in Incan mythology and yet again the story is extremely fast moving and highly imaginative. While Raven’s Gate was set entirely in England, the foreign and exotic setting of Evil Star is really interesting. The idea that the ancient Incans still walk the Earth is fantastic.
I wish I could say more but I am trying to rein myself in and not give away spoilers. The book is a real page turner and you are introduced to the second of the Five, a young Incan boy called Pedro.
