I think that this middle-grade series, this book in particular, is a great way to teach kids about mental health, depression, and the impact it can have on our day-to-day. It also emphasizes the importance of asking questions, especially when something is going on that we feel is wrong. The book is fast-paced, but you never feel like you're flying through it too quickly. The cast of characters is excellent, and it is nice to see characters with lots of powers/abilities struggle a little and have a strong need to learn, especially in fantasy.

Score: Seven points out of ten.
At last. I wanted to read this book which is the third instalment in the series and after reading and enjoying Keeper of the Lost Cities and Exile I hoped that would be the same for this one. For so long but I put it off for a few months, and eventually, I finally picked it up and read it. When I finished it, I thought it was only okay and not at the same level as the first two novels. It starts (more like continues) with the main character (who needs no introduction at this point) Sophie and from there I pick up from the events of the second part I read previously. The first few pages brimmed with action but soon the pace slowed from there. Here's where the flaws surface: there's not much of anything to keep the plot moving. Other than the clues from the Black Swan, the threat of the Neverseen and the mystery behind Jolie. Did I mention that the series gets darker from here? There's a bit of action in the middle and the end but I wished there could've been more, and the characters missed the mark, especially Sophie (I rooted for her and the other people once but now I feel disconnected from them. Shame.) I hope Neverseen (the fourth book, not the organisation) is better.
