I did read these books out of order, but hopefully that will not have much bearing on the review. I have missed Dak, Sera and Riq and I am glad to be getting back to them again. And this one is written by one of my new favorite authors, so that makes it even better and I had very high hopes coming into this book.
I admit that the landing on an awning thing at the beginning made me laugh. Riq seems to be the butt of the joke fairly frequently.
And then, oh my, Riq has a secret that he is keeping and it could change so much….. The intrigue of it all. And don’t worry, I am really not giving anything away that you wouldn’t know if you had read the previous books, so I am still spoiler free!
I dislike everything about Tilda, and the antics of the last couple chapters do not endear me to her at all in any way. She is a snake that should perish and perish quickly. Please tell me she is.. Handled in later books? And the crap she spews on about about Sera’s parents? What is that?
The book progressed so quickly that I forgot to take notes as I went along, so bear with me here a little as I ramble about and gush over the story. The action sequences took off and stayed fast paced throughout the entire book. This keeps the reader coming back for more again and again, every time.
This installment, and really this whole series, is well suited for every middle grade reader, boy and girl alike, as it has just a little bit of everything within the pages.
I think my favorite part is the historical facts. I love that history is the forefront of the series. Especially the fact that this book tells so much about World War II. World War II holds a special place in my heart. My grandfather was in the US Army during the war, and this was one of my favorite bits of history to learn when I was in school.
Overall, a very good read and I can’t wait to see what happens next to our young heroes.
