Review #13668 - Dated: 16th of March, 2015
Author: nerdalert1101 |
This book series has come quite a long way from what it started off as, the plot has thickened to quite a suspenseful "consistency", and this book has definitely paved a bumpy road for the series conclusion. So far, most of the Great Beast's talismans, but now there is only one left they can get to, so the race to prevent the Conquerors winning has now gotten highly intense! Over the course of the previous books, the 4 characters have learned some ridiculously cool stuff that they can do thanks to their bond to their spirit animals, and in this book, they have managed to get out of some seemingly impossible situations using both their abilities as well as the powers of the talismans they possessed. I thought that these little escapes were quite creative and imaginative, so I would like to give kudos to the author for successfully managing to close those little scenes off nice and neatly.
The book was well structured, and alternated between the perspectives of each of the characters, and whenever this happened on a cliffhanger, it sort of gave me an incentive to keep reading in order to find out what happened next, so this was a nice little "carrot on a stick" structure, which certainly worked. There was the odd occasion where I would be reading the book and my emotions would just synchronize to the mood of that particular section of the story, and that phenomenon's presence in the book is great, as it helps to engage the reader in the story, it makes them feel like they are a spectator of an actual event going on in the book, and that level of engagement works in the book's favour.
The storyline was anything but boring to read, I think there were some good twists and bends in the story which defied anything I thought would happen, and being kept in the dark most of the way made the experience a lot more enjoyable for me. Also, the blurb on the back cover wasn't lying when it said that the character's biggest sacrifices were yet to come, and sure enough, there were a couple of moments which I think will have a large impact on the story which will unfold in the next book ^;) Overall, I think this book is a great semi-conclusion to this series, and has now set the board for the final endgame, which I await with open arms and an open mind!
