After loving the Lewis Trilogy I was excited that a fourth book was added to the series. Sadly I was left disappointed - while I enjoyed some of the flash backs to Finn’s childhood as it explained some of the previous plot points, I found the story quite slow-moving and I didn’t like any of the characters. I had to really “push through” to finish the book. Overall, a bit disappointing.
