This story is so complexly woven that it’s hard to put down; the mindbending concept of a story within a story within a story and the question of who exactly is writing the story is hard to fully grasp. Definitely the best of the trilogy. That being said, I’m shocked that this is considered a childrens book. The first of the series might be, but this one certainly is not.
