Reviews

Na de toch wel trage voorganger is dit boek veel beter! Deze keer gebeurt er wel constant iets waardoor het boek redelijk snel uitgelezen is. Met de gebeurtenissen van dit boek denk ik ook wel dat het volgende boek weer een gigantische climax wordt zoals de Bibliotheek der zielen!

5.0

This book is very different from the other books in this series in the best way possible. This book is politics based and I found it fascinating. It has so many twists and turns that made me so intrigued to find out more. A very different feeling than the other books elicited but I ate up every moment of this book regardless.

It’s one thing to write a spin-off and a whole other to spontaneously drag it out into six arduous sequels. It’s unnerving to see how I’m progressively coming to hate one of my fondest series more and more with each passing book.

I used to have a soft spot for this because I loved the film release but this is just making me feel every level of heartache because the plot was dismally unappealing and I don’t have the heart to pulverise it in my review. I don’t mean to denigrate but a this point it’s starting to get a bit tiring.

Jacob Portman

Just saying his name leaves a sour taste in my mouth because this was round 3000 of Jacob trying to act cool with his flamboyant gestures and illustrious screaming-at-hollows-to-make-them-pay-attention. If anything I’d say his “flavour of the week” is getting to his head.

But the real question is: did anything happen??

Well, it’s going to be No and No (what, did you think I was gonna start extolling it) but you know what? No biggie. After all they only just figured out that they misinterpreted the prophecy (how else would they have a final showdown then?) in the last two pages and their greatest (ho ho) nemesis has returned from the dead. I just hope that this can go off with a bang because it has been doing so much injustice to the first book 2 stars
