Sons of Destiny by Darren Shan
2.0
One thing that Cirque du Freak always leaves you with is the feeling of wanting more. You never want the book to end... that was not the case with this one. After reading this the only feeling it left me with is disappointment. This was the first book of the series I wanted to hurry up and end.
It's easy to understand why the book ended the way it did. Darren Shan is great at making his readers feel on edge and sorry for his characters. Darren Shan likes to twist things to give his book that WOW factor, but sadly this was not his best. He needed a twisted ending to top off his twisted story but this book did not do this series justice.
Overall: This was a great series. It's a way to ease yourself into the darker side of reading and experience some heart wreaking moments. Though Darren Shan writes these books in a childish form of writing, it is not childish in any way. The main character goes through some tough things, such as watching his friends age and go on with their lives while he stays young, having people close to him betray him, and watching those closet to him die. Shan also knows how to make you fall in love with his characters. No one can forget Gavner and his yellow and pink elephant boxers, or harkat mulds adorableness despite the fact he is a ugly little creature. Darren Shan has a way of making the characters remain with you despite the book being over. The ending of the book isn't necessarily good, it could of been better, but the rest of the series makes up for what the ending lack. It is still a great read that one will never forget
