This book seemed to get dragged out for an extra 150+ pages, and I expected some really big cataclysmic showdown in those pages after all the build up of the previous 400 but nope. Instead of a bang it ended with a pop.

I was very disappointed, although I had been losing interest since just over half way. There was just too much filler and not enough happening in the book to keep my interest.

My interest in YA Paranormal has just nosedived completely. I won't be continuing the series.

If you've been in the realm of the internet that discusses the Fantasy Fiction, you will know about The Dresden Files. This book has been on my list for who knows how long, and I'm glad I've finally got around to it. I wouldn't say this was the best book I've read, but knowing that the series only gets better and better, the bar was set pleasing high for continuing this world. It set the stage for what is to come, and I'm looking forward to discovering more.

<strong>A worthwhile chore</strong>

I must admit, this was a chore to get through. But it came together in the end. I struggle something with Week's prose. There are some habits of his that just erk me somewhat. I also haven't read many series bigger than a trilogy, so the overall arc is feeling perhaps a little steep for me at the moment. I'm sure it's as much me as it is the book. Saying all this I never felt like DNFing it, and definitely moving onto book 3 imminently.

"This is the other book I live by. It's fiction—a guy travels to find a secret book that has a series of principles. The story is a metaphor for life: I could go left or right, I could be stuck, or I could keep advancing. Some people are happy where they are. I tried to hire a guy once, and I said, "Don't you have ambition to be bigger?" And he said, "No, I'm good." I had to respect that, but for me that was the wrong relationship."

Yeah, I really really liked this one, and even bought the last book in the trilogy before I finished it because I am that hooked on the story and in need of knowing how it's all going to end. I've found it very addictive and all my other books have gone on the backburner while I finish this series. If you haven't read it yet, you really should. Amazing!

I love all the Neph gang; Kaiden, Blake, Kopano, Marna...not too sure about Ginger yet, though.

Straight onto book 3!

It took me a while to get into this, what with it being a few years since I read the first book, but I remembered bits.

There was a bit of a surprise thrown in but by the time it came about I was kind if expecting something like that to happen anyway.

I'm going to have to read the third and final book in the series just to see if they manage to reunite the Americas but I'm not too excited about it all.

Off to start it now.
