Better than the last book

Where the last book was slow this book was fast paced, and a lot of story happened. Great twist at the end too.

So Good!

I LOVE THIS SERIES! The story has unfolded a little more with every book. This book tied up several loose ends that I hadn't even realized were loose to begin with! It had everything. Funny one-liners, tear-jerkers, eye-openers, and loyal, unbreakable friendships. And in true Circ du Freak fashion...leaves you with a shocking, can't wait to start the next book, ending!

Spoilers in the reviews! (Thanks Darin!)

The book was great! ...But I read the reviews on the audio and Darin made his review a giant spoiler and ruined my whole night so proceed with caution! PS I hope Darin steps on 6 leggos a day forever.

Fun stuff

The whole series is great and well read. I burned through them. I suppose you would call it young adult fiction?

The parallels from the beginning are starting to show..!

It’s exciting because I loved this series as a kid. Listening to it about 15 years later and catching the parallels from the early parts of the series because you kind of remember what’s happened.. it’s just exciting. Great series
