I feel Absolute Midnight is the best of the Abarat series thus far. That said, this book can’t really be enjoyed without the story & character development of the first two books.
Important note for Clive Barker horror fans considering this series: While this series is unmistakably of Clive Barker’s writing style, it is much more lighthearted & fantasy based than his works of horror. I think that’s something that readers may want to consider before delving into this series. That said, I’m glad I did. I enjoyed it.
