4.0
Note: This is the 9th book in the series, so there will inherently be spoilers in the description. Proceed with caution!
General Description: Bobby has seemingly given up. Believing he and Saint are trapped on Ibara, he believes his work is done. However, can it be that easy? Mark and Courtney are also in a place where they have given up, until a traveler surprises them on First Earth needing help. If another territory is in turmoil is Saint Dane truly trapped? What can Mark and Courtney do? Will Bobby realize his mistake and go back to save another territory?
The goods:
- I almost cried at the ending. It is absolutely such a great lead up to the final book in a series.
- I love how many territories you visit and how much time you spend there.
- Courtney and Mark's storyline is absolutely fantastic.
- Seeing Bobby's comeback and his constant setbacks make this an interesting ninth book, you can't get much lower than this book.
the loss of a star:
- Bobby and Saint Dane's drawn out discussion just go on for a bit too long in multiple points of the book. It really slows down the pacing of this book .
Overall, if you've read the previous 8 books, I don't know how you could stop!
