Awesome. Nick Bantock is my new hero.

Honestly, I'm not even that sure I like the story so much, of this series, not just this book. I mean, it's fine, but it sort of irritates me. But the books themselves are so beautiful, I am captivated by them even when the story leaves me feeling a little bored.

This review covers all three books in the second Griffin and Sabine trilogy.
I received the first trilogy as a gift, and I enjoyed it. When I was told there were three more books, I rushed to get them. But, although they had the same physical beauty and fun of the first set, the story sort of bogged down. I thought the magic spark and spooky intrigue pretty much vanished. I was just confused and that is annoying....is the author deliberately being obscure or am I just stupid? Either way, I didn't see the point of adding two new characters without explaining what really has happened with Sabine and Griffin. ( Although in posting this I have discovered that there is now a seventh book that takes place in between the trilogies and possibly does shed some light on what happened after the third book. Or maybe I'll just become MORE confused.) I really didn't mind that the original trilogy ended in mystery because it was such a simple tale. That was fine to let your own imagination end it as you wish. But when you start throwing in visions and Egyptian gods and ancient statues and stalking bad guys and arson and whatever you have a different kind of story and I need more sense made of it.

I enjoyed the Morning Star trilogy quite a bit but it didn't pull me in as much as the original Griffin and Sabine trilogy. Still definitely worth the read!

Bidding goodbye to this series is very difficult, but this last installment (book 6) of the Griffin and Sabine series is just what we needed. Beautiful and somewhat mind-boggling. Read and enjoy!

I really enjoyed the first couple of books in the series, but by this one, I couldn't get past the feeling that I was just not intelligent or artsy enough to understand.

Can this series get any more cryptic?

I guess I don’t get because I feel like nothing was “illuminated”
