re-read 14/10/21 Audiobook version this time around. Narrator's doing a really good job!
Book 10 in the Cirque du Freak series.
Darren takes a break from his quest to kill the Lord of the Vampaneze in order to help Harkat figure out his true identity. Mr. Tiny sends the pair through a mysterious portal into another world where they must survive encounters with several grotesque creatures so that Harkat can find the answer he is seeking.
If you're any good at anagrams, it is not at all hard to figure out Harkat's true identity. Mixed in with all of the gory adventure stuff is a look at the importance of friendship and forgiveness that gives the story some emotional depth. (But don't worry boys--it's still incredibly gross and action-packed. No one cries or anything.)

Wow. Didn’t expect Harkat to be Kurda like at all. But I knew he was a dude so. Idk it’s kinda confusing. Especially the fact that he was dead and Harkat was there before he died just weird. Definitely unexpected. And the world they went into. Like that was the future of what? The vampires? Or earth? Like what would happen if they lost the war? Creepy man just plan creepy

This is the last of the books that I know I've read before, but I honestly didn't remember any of it, other than Harkat's true identity.
I really have no idea how this book ties into the War of Scars and defeating the Vampaneze Lord. But it was still a fun addition. This story is like a basic quest. Darren and Harkat have to overcome obstacles (the panther, the Temple, the dragons) to get their reward (find out Harkat's identity).
Its pretty creepy. The action rivals the more exciting books of the series. But It makes me wonder how the books will end. Most of the other sets of 3 in the series had an over-arcing plot. This book doesn't connect to the rest of the war. It sort of feels like an intermission!

This was a weird installment. This added a lot of unnecessary and confusing information to the overall story of the series. This one was about Harkat about finding out about who he was. This was strange, they went to a strange world to find Harkat soul. It was interesting and action packed but it made that world so much more confusing.

How is Herkat Kurda Smahlt it makes no sense. What is Mr. Tiny and why is he a thing?

The Lake of Souls takes place right after Killers of the Dawn. Darren cannot cry. He feels numb, but with the help of the bearded Lady, Truska, he eventually does so. Because of Mr Crepsley's death this book was also a recovery just not for Darren but for me as well.
But some people would expect this book to be a bit boring, well at the beginning it was kind of slow but definitely caught up by the middle with such an interesting plot with Harkat.
I did enjoy it thoroughly and I would recommend it to anyone who has read this series, because if you haven't read it this book in particular would give away a lot of spoilers.

I think this book is my favourite yet of the whole serie. It was just such a rollercoaster of events and emotions, I would have cried if I weren't sitting in the car with my brother and dad.
After finally finding out who Harkat really was in his previous life I think I like him more. I used to be a bit sceptical because he could act very cold and stuff.
I don't mind the relationship with Debbie and Darren but I'd rather have it didn't happen, luckily we didn't see much of them this book.
This is the longest book of the saga and I really really enjoyed it! It was more like a side-adventure to their quest but I think that made me enjoy reading it even more. I needed something else than the constant war and killing tactics.
