4.0

Brian fried, review follows

Imma be honest, I had hoped that the third would get the series out of the slump the second one had created and my wish had been answered!

4,5 Star

Spoiler

I was skeptical at the beginning. Given by the fact that the whole going back home mission came out of nowhere in Shadowlark. Without a good and valid reason, besides that the city is Lark's 'home' or former home. But the way Spooner created the rebellion and reintroduced characters was very very elegant (besides Kris, I mean he literally body slammed into Oren-).

I also loved the classical black and white, or here 'magic and shadows'. That both melted together is technically the world we know (besides we can't turn into monsters, though this could also be interpreted with the dark side we all carry!)

Favourite character: Nix (The most reliable character and funniest by far. And yes, I cried like a baby at the end)

Quotes: (I was lazy with collecting, thats why they all from the end-)

Oren stepped in, putting himself bewteen Kris and me. "All this way, you claim to trust her, and now you think she's failed you?"

Oren curled my fingers around the dead pxie. "Nix's body; it's just a thing. Its sacrifice and its friendship, nothing can destroy that."
