  • I really enjoyed the first 2 books in the series. They were imaginative, clever and had good characters. This one was a bit of a letdown.

    Minor spoilers ahead.

    This book picks up about 16 years later with Wren, the daughter of the previous main characters Hester and Tom. Wren is a rather annoying, typical teen, suffering typical teen angst about her parents and boys. It makes for some dull reading until the plot finally gets moving. She doesn't evolve much as a character or become particularly likable. You don't really care what happens to her.

    Hester is suddenly a very violent, murderous person and it doesn't quite gel with her character in the previous books. She murders a number of people in brutal ways and seems to enjoy it. This is treated very casually by the author, which I found disturbing for a book aimed at juveniles. His approach to sex is completely chaste, but he doesn't hesitate to depict murder and violent, bloody death. The book ends on a series of cliffhangers, with characters being put in some unlikely and rather forced situations. I still plan to read the next book and hope it is better than this one.

  • Following Tom and Hester's next adventure was a delight. The constant battle of good verses evil kept you wondering which way things would go. Always fresh and exciting.

  • The author has an ability to capture vast details with a mere few words. I have always been impressed with his unique ability to do this. I look forward to the movies to be produced by Peter Jackson but have thoroughly enjoy the world shown me by Phillip's creative mind.

  • Great

  • Amazon customer service does not listen to customers!!!!

  • Enjoyed very much ... can't wait for the Peter Jackson movie being made based on these set of books!

  • Thank goodness for a woman whose response to motherhood is, to say the least, complicated. Worth the read.
    I hope our attention to the daughter pays off in the next book.

  • I've always liked these books! Pretty good condition too.
