Everything got a bit crazy (and worlds-colliding) there at the end, but I really enjoyed this whole trilogy.

In this book, like in the previous two, the accion starts in the first pages, and it keeps you hooked all the book.
I have really loved the new kinds of Unseen (the magical creatures in the Earth), and I have suffered for their lives, specially for the life of Bridghid. Bridghid started as a character I didn't like in the first book, to evolve to a very strong and deary one.
But there are three things in this book that I didn't like:
1. The obsession of Cedar with clothes. Really. I don't really care if she is wearing a dress or jeans. Why is it always talking about the clothes she is wearing (and no one talks about Finn's, or the other people?)
2. When they go to Aasgard, they face some problems. I was waiting for a big battle, or something that went for some pages. But it was over in a few lines. I felt that it was all so easy.
3. The more important thing is the one related to humans leaving in Tir na nÓg. In the first book, Lorcan dies because he becomes human and he ages some centuries in a moment. But in this book, we find that humans can live in Tir na nÓg for centuries and, if they return to the Earth, they only start aging as if they wouldn't have spent any time in Tir na nÓg. In this case, Lorcan wouldn't have aged and he wouldn't have died. It was a little annoying.
Anyway, I liked the book, and I want to read the prequel, to know more about Cedar's parents.

Tragedy is striking in Tír na nÓg. The Unseen are sick and dying, and Cedar McLeod, the new queen of Tír na nÓg vows to find out why. What she needs are the eight jewels from the Book of Kells, but no one knows where they are.

The Thin Veil book 3
This was my favorite of the 3 with laughter, tears, excitement and intregue. A threat to the magical had to be solved and we got to meet some really interesting characters.
