The Lost Codex by Heather Lyons
4.0
A disappointing ending to one of my favorite series...3.5 Out Of 5 STARS worth
I wanted to love this…I have loved the first three books in The Collector's Society. This has always been a uniquely told book series, but this one was just too out there in left field and left me feeling confused and sadly disappointed. It felt like it dragged a lot of the time and was the longest 411 pages ever. I've adored these characters and I have been fascinated with the premise, so I tried to let that reflect in my rating. I guess, overall I just wanted this play out differently…and that ending…well, I guess ultimately that ending left an opening for this story to play out differently...
I actually finished the last half or so of this book with the Audio version, because I was being plagued by migraines and couldn't continue reading. I did not care for the narration of this at all, though. Heather Lyons, in my opinion, this series could have benefitted from a different narrator, in fact adding a male voice would have been worked much better for Finn's parts and for the print version, you really need to have someone proofread it.
