The Conquering Dark: Crown & Key by Susan Griffith, Clay Griffith

2.0

2.5 stars. Again there was too much repetitive action. I mean it basically went our heroes battle the bad elementals and their steampunk constructs, the bad guys flee (some constructs defeated). Our heroes return home where they are attacked and battle elementals and constructs, (some constructs destroyed bad guys flee). Kate does alchemy, they are attacked, they battle, bad guys flee, they follow a lead, they battle, bad guys flee, they follow another lead, another battle with much destruction then again and again until the final 'dramatic' battle in which they fight the main bad guy, much destruction ensures, they win, the end. Only you know, it is not dramatic if it is the 25th such massive battle against unbeatable monsters.
