Reviews

[Dan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Really enjoyed the first two books in the series, the third was still good, if a little less engaging. But I don't know what happened with these - 4-6 are just an odd mess that feel incoherent and utterly unrelated to the original story lines. They've lost the humour and the interesting characters that made the first books.

I read through them as I had the box set, but that's the only reason I persevered past 4.

A good continuation

A good continuation to an on going series. Will look forward to reading the next instalment to the series. .
