Everything our hero, Jo, has
fought so hard for rests on a knife’s edge and Jo’s friends, his new family, along
with all that he has worked so hard to find and establish, is at stake.
The head of the criminal cartel,
Herendez, and cruel scientist, Steiner, are on his heels, and Amy is in serious
danger. Jo must save Amy from Steiner’s wicked
grasp and his sinister experiments whilst at the same time keep himself from
mortal danger.
This is an excellent ending to a
superlative series of stories; no-one will be disappointed with it, it is an
outstanding finale.
This book has a reading age of
10-18 years but I’m sure many adults will enjoy it as well; I particularly
enjoy the way the author throws readers straight into the story, making them
want to find out more about Jo and the other characters in the tale.
I definitely found it hard to put
down as I couldn’t wait to learn more of Jo’s exploits and how things turned
out for him. I’m sure readers of the
series will be interested to know more about Jo as he grows up into adult life,
it could lead on to a series of adult Jo’s adventures.
It is an excellent fantasy
page-turner with modern-day dialogue which young teenagers and grown-ups will appreciate,
a great novel for children and adults.
I particularly liked the small-sized chapters which kept the story on point and made the book easy to pick up
and put down and to return to without having the problem of remembering where I
left off; the length of the book is also ideal; compact and not excessively
lengthy.
The well thought-out characters in
this third book will give any cynical teenage reader a further taste of magic
which they may well come to believe in. At the same time, it is a must-read for
adult booklovers who will definitely relish the well-written exploits contained
in a brilliant contemporary, inspired fantasy tale.
The story is magical for all
ages; it has excitement and unexpected twists and will definitely have readers wanting
more, I can thoroughly recommend it.
There are many outstanding
questions to be answered, such as, will Amy cope with having wings? will readers
learn more about the children in Australia? and will there be any other
threatening characters after Jo?
