I never liked this one as much as a kid but now, it's one of my favorites. The world building and the way that psychosis of the Bones begins to set in is wonderful. However their development seems to come at the behests of Thorns because after the events of Old Man's Cave she just seems to do whatever the plot wants her to and no longer has a character.

In Ghost Circles by Jeff Smith, the mountain explodes spreading ash across the valley and leaving everything in ruins. Worse yet, ghost circles have begun to appear, taking everything in them somewhere else. Thorn, the Bone cousins and Bartleby have to make their way across this desolation to Atheia, the kingdom Thorn and her grandmother fled years ago.
It seems that readers of the series split over Ghost Circles. They either love the nonstop adventure or hate it. I loved it. I especially loved the brief glimpses into the ghost circles.
The artwork depicting the destruction is fantastic. As it happens, I was reading it during the weeks that Eyjafjallajökull was erupting. I will forever connect the book and the news together.

This is a solid 7th book in the series, with interesting world building and interesting environments. The art is still beautiful, though Thorn still suffers from Inconsistent Character Design Syndrome (or ICDS). Or maybe it's just in my head lol.
Right off the bat, we're told a lot of new information about Thorn's powers rather than shown her discovering them, but this doesn't really matter to me as much.
Also, Bartleby's back!!
