When I first started reading this one, it threw me off a bit because the writing of it seemed different than the previous four...I guess Ted Dekker's having a co-author on this one was what caused that. But the more I read into the book, the more it drew me in, the same as the rest of the series, so I have no fault with it. Except that it doesn't "end" like the other four, but instead has a "to be continued"...good thing I already had book 6, Elyon, handy to start reading it! Haha. One other note, I didn't really discover who "Shaeda" really was until the summary at the beginning of book 6. I guess it should have struck me in this book, but it really didn't. Anyway, another great part of the series. Nothing tops the whole Circle series, and these Lost Books are no exception. :D
