Dette var deres verden, ikke vår. Vi hadde ingen rett til å drepe dem. Tenk om dette var de eneste drakene som fantes og vi utslettet en hel rase bare for å redde vårt eget skinn! (S. 224)
Men betyr det at i ‘vår’ verden så er det fritt frem?

Another great book in the series, although this one is unusual since it takes a breather from the main storyline and focuses on a mini-story: Harkat's background and who he really is.
A small section of the first part shows a realistic grieving for Darren, which I found depressing but needed to be convincing and respectful to a fallen character. After a surprising reveal by two return characters (yay), Darren accompanies his friend Harkat in his journey.
A break from the vampire war was inevitable but the author kept it interesting by introducing a gritty, surreal world. There is a new character who stands out as quirky but psychologically twisted, which intrigued me. New creatures, difficult obstacles, and a mystery to boot. Who Harkat turns out to be? A surprise that I liked.
It veers slightly off course but this is needed and ties in it’s ways into the main storyline in the end. By this point Darren has grown into a stronger character, and Harkat fighting his personal demons is enjoyable since I’ve come to know the character over several books now.
There is a void where a character has been lost, so I think the placement of this one – two off by themselves in a different direction – was needed to let the reader absorb and not jumble the main storyline.
Again Shan impresses with the complexity of the created world, rich in fantasy and imagination.

Ondanks dat deze gehele serie voor 10+ geschreven is, durft dit boek (en de serie vooral ook in de eerste 3 boeken) zwaardere thema's bespreekbaar te maken voor kinderen van die leeftijd.
Denk hierbij aan het verlies van een dierbare dmv de dood en de consequenties die dat heeft/rouwverwerking worden bespreekbaar gemaakt.
Ik ben al een fan van deze serie, ben er in rap tempo doorheen aan het jagen maar raad ze absoluut aan.

I love Harkat and this book really centered around him as a character. He is one of my favorite characters from this series. The overall journey in this book was a lot of fun and I enjoyed reading it over again.
Can't say that this book did much for the main plot but enjoyed it I did (but not as much as the previous books in the series).
I love how the author wrote Darren's grief over Mr. Crespley, but I wish more characters of Cirque Du Freak gave more reaction, especially Evra. My boi didn't get any scene in this despite him being very close to Darren (wish he got some scenes to comfort Darren).
Although I'm not too excited about Darren and Harkat's quest to find his soul, it does gave a good glimpse of how Mr. Tiny's power works and his meddling business. Also, the end really makes the stake goes higher, like way up. My interest is definitely piqued.
