Ah, tää oli kyllä tosi jännittävä. Lapsetkin kuunteli silmät jännityksestä levällään, kun Kammovarjo hiippaili nurkissa ja yritti napata ihmisten varjoja. Mutta vierailu Aaverantaan tarkoittaa aina jännittävää seikkailua yhdessä Herbertin ja Orvokin kanssa, joten siihen osasimme varautua. Tämä sarja on kyllä nautintoa niin aikuiselle kuin lapsellekkin. Yksi tämän vuosikymmenen parhaista lasten- ja nuortenkirjasarjoista.

I love visiting Eerie-on-Sea and reading all about Herbie and Violets magical adventures and I can’t wait to return there again!

This book is for anyone who loves feeling tense and loves mysterious genres. I would say that this is one of the most amazing adventure story I have ever read and I highly recommend it to anyone! Even if you don’t think this book is for you then just read a few chapters you might change your mind, when i started i didn't want to stop reading it!!

Decent installment, but the craziness of Eel’s being the Villian after 2 previous “deaths” was just too much this time. I also thought we would be coming to a resolution about Herbie’s mysterious parentage, but nope, turns out this trilogy has a fourth installment coming now.
Some positives;
Really heartwarming that Lady K is a curmudgeon that obviously lover her ‘dunderhead’
In absence of a strong Violet role, a Herbie’s was much braver this time around, though still tentative in parts.
Violet’s vulnerable admission that she didn’t want Herbie to leave her like her family and everyone else has. How she needs her friend.
Clermit is the most loyal animatronic a person could want. Not too shamed to admit I shed some salty tears over the crab this time.
Overall another enjoyable, if a bit repetitive, romp. Adored reading it with my girl.

Jokin tässä kirjassa tökki niin paljon, että sen lukeminen kesti 2,5 kuukautta. Aiemmat osat olivat vetävämpiä, tässä keskityttiin ehkä jopa liikaa Herbert Sitruksen potentiaaliseen taustaan ja siihen liittyviin tunteisiin, että itse mysteeri/jännityselementti uhkasi jäädä taka-alalle. Myöskin Kammovarjo jäi jotenkin etäisen oloiseksi olennoksi, vaikka se Aaverantaa uhkasikin. Tämän kirjan pitäisi olla Malamanteri-trilogian päätösosa, mutta loppu jäi sen verran avoimeksi, että tie mahdollisiin jatko-osiin on osittain pedattu. Ja kuka tietää, ehkä niitä tulee. Mutta harmillisesti tällä kertaa sarjan "päätösosa" oli myös sen heikoin. 2,5 tähteä 3 tähteen.

Another solid instalment in this series. I liked how there was more of a character-focus this time. Docked 0.75 because I wanted a little more atmosphere, intrigue, and adventure.
