This has been my favourite so far. What an ending! No spoilers, but I'm so glad that I'm going back and reading the ones I missed while I was having kids. The richness of this world is absolutely enhanced by Isobelle's reading. The Keeping Place is downloaded and ready to go next week on the way to work. Amazing.

These books continue to impress, especially the outcome of the Battlegames! Can't wait to read the next in the series.

I feel as if every book in the Obernewtyn series just keeps on getting better as the storyline progresses. Once again, Carmody introduced new adventures and new characters, which not only broadened the scope of the fiction world, but also invoked a new sense of depth into the plot. I'm really excited to see more of the Gypsy, Swallow, and to learn more about the Sadorian people who were introduced towards the end of the book. I was glad that we got a bit more clarity on Elspeth's quest and how exactly it came to be. I was NOT glad, however, that a few of my faves were put through the wringer - Matthew, Dragon and Domick and Kella's relationship - all suffered immensely. My only consolation was that Rushton and Elspeth FINALLY were able to confess their feelings for one another, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get teary. Another fantastic and well-written book in the Obernewtyn series, and most definitely my favourite so far!
