The final in a wonderfully written trilogy this story brings together some of my favorite things. Reliance on someone that you barely know and fighting for what you believe in while conquering yourself. While I did get a tad bored through some of it most of the book follows the same format and writing style as the first two. This makes it an easy read that can be done all in one sitting. You will find yourself swept into the world and enjoying the main characters while rooting for them.
Perfect for fans of the Chronicles of Narnia.

The MCs of this book are simply not as likably as Fin MacLeod of The Lewis Trilogy. For most of this book, the MC (the one in 1st person) is unsure of who he is, though it seems obvious that he is related to another MC. As someone who experienced traumatic amnesia, I know that the character's amnesia is well done, but as a reader I didn't like it--it lasted too long. This was a good read, just not as thrilling as his other books.

A brilliant film and great ending....for now at least to this trilogy. Dark, gritty and brutal it doesn't feel like a comic book action hero film. It's more a harsh crime thriller! I thought Anne Hathaway was well cast as Catwoman as is Tom Hardy as Bane. The only problem I had was understanding everything Bane said through his face mask, at times the voice doesn't seem to match the villain? Only small minor gripes though, still I have to add The Dark Knight is still my favourite of the 3 with this a close second.
Join Jack, May, and Phillip as they journey through this alternative take on fairy tales. All the characters you know are here, and help or keep our trio from completing their quest to save their kingdom from an evil plot.
All three books in the series are in this set, and they are all compelling reads. You'll want to read them all back to back. There's action, great characters, plot twists, and sarcasm. You can't go wrong.

Contains spoilers, click to show
After three books of radically different story telling with amazing, intelligent, and interesting characters, I was ready for this book to end about 100 pages before it did. By the end of the novel, I felt that the Stelian plot was stretched a little too thin, and I would've have been happy enough to see Karou and Akiva fly off to resurrect her people ... screw the Stelians.

I was incredibly excited to read this sequel after being pleasantly surprised by Mask of Shadows. This could easily, and probably should, have been a trilogy. It feels like there was so much packed into this book that nothing really went into detail, even despite its 400 pages. While there was still a good bit of action it was mostly introspection and lamenting the past. The ending was a bit underwhelming and I really expected more. Overall, it is a solid, if a bit lackluster, sequel to a fantastic book.

My allegiances are conflicted
Another great development from this second part of the trilogy. Juliette had moments of being incredibly flaky in this book, but then I gave myself the proverbial slap around the face and reminded myself that she has had an awful childhood, prolonged captivity and is very mixed up. Adam seemed to be a more back seat character in this book and Warner made everything look triangular. Warner did seem more human and vulnerable and I'm trying to keep an open mind about him. Who knows where it's all going to end in book three. Well narrated.

The fourth book in the 'trilogy of five' that comprises The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, and (IMO) this is a strong contender for the best of the bunch.
In this one, Arthur Dent finds himself back on Earth (which has mysteriously re-appeared after earlier being demolished to make way for a Hyper-Space bypass), unaware that all the dolphins have disappeared - hence the title. In company with the only other human on the planet who seems aware that something has happened, and with Ford Prefect, they go in search of God's final message to creation ... and find it.

Gameplay
Good, but not exactly original.
A well made but dull addition to the Tomb Raider franchise.
The game itself is well made, but it has lost the charm of the original games. The game, like the first in the prequel trilogy, boasts its "free-roam" option, which doesn't really add much to the game or the story.
There's also very little in the way of tomb raiding, with tombs being fun challenges reminiscent of the original puzzles, but feeling like little more than an afterthought as something they should probably put in.
