What. A. Finish. Darren Shan concludes his saga in perfect form, with a tale twistier and turnier than ever before. Long lost plot threads are weaved seamlessly to their conclusion, stakes are ever raised, and we are kept guessing to its final moments.

Es el libro número 12 y final de la saga de Darren Shan, si has seguido la historia hasta aquí, el libro anterior te deja en suspenso sobre el enfrentamiento final, aquí todo termina. Un plus de este libro es lo que viene después de la batalla final, a mí me pareció un buen final para la saga.

La historia está bien (nada extraordinario pero entretenida) y es corta, así que puedes leerlo rápidamente y seguir con la saga. Algo que me parece importante recalcar es que si es necesario leer los libros anteriores para entender lo que sucede en este libro.

Me parece que en general, la historia de Darren Shan se puede dividir en dos partes, la primera está compuesta por el primer libro y como se convierte en semi-vampiro, y la segunda compuesta por el resto de libros de la Saga de Darren Shan. Esta división es arbitraria por mi parte y la hago en el sentido de “autoconclusión” de los libros, de los 12 tomos, y en mi opinión, solo el primer libro es autoconclusivo, en cuanto a los libros del 2 al 12 es necesario leerlos en orden para entender la historia en su conjunto. Por ello, mi recomendación al lector es, si cuentas con la saga de libros completa empieza a leer el segundo tomo, de caso contrario puedes leer el primer tomo y tener una experiencia agradable.
