A review by litagentsaritza
The Lake of Souls by Darren Shan
3.0
This was kind of weird--as weird as [a:Darren Shan|5816|Darren Shan|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1192947698p2/5816.jpg] can get--but still a good read. Not as fast-paced as some of the others and still aching from the loss of a main character but I enjoyed seeing an adventure between Harkat and Darren.
What I liked about this book: This book reminded me a lot of [b:The Belgariad|44659|Pawn of Prophecy (The Belgariad, #1)|David Eddings|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170267561s/44659.jpg|2558293] in many ways. The journey to another place to learn about Harkat's past and claim his soul. While I found this book rather slow and not sure how it would move the plot forward until the very end, I enjoyed the camaraderie between Darren and Harkat. I'm just not overly fond of Mr Tiny and his meddling ways (very much like Darren, I suppose). I did enjoy seeing the very Scooby Doo ending though.
Summary: "If you step through after Harkat, you might never come back. Is your friend worth such an enormous risk?" Darren and Harkat face monstrous obstacles on their desperate quest to the Lake of Souls. Will they survive the savage journey? And what awaits them in the murky waters of the dead? Be careful what you fish for...
