This was a really satisfying conclusion to Ben's story and really thought-provoking.
I like the eerie, more threatening nature of Ben in The Fifth Child better, not to mention his crazy family.
But the sequel will stay with me just like the original novel and I'm sure it will keep me thinking.
Not surprised there was over a decade between the two books.
