Night's Masque

review 1: I liked this final installment of the Night's Masque series even less than the previous one. I had a feeling of doom throughout the entire books. Things got interesting right in the middle of the book and I felt like after this climax things needed to get to a quick resolution and end there, but the story was prolonged to no end. The story did nothing to endear me to any of the characters I'd already lost interest in the previous book. So their interminable adventures and convoluted plans actually made me feel annoyed and bored. I didn't like the magic in the series and it only got worse in this book. I'm quite sorry what started as a very entertaining series deteriorated into an annoying and confusing mess. And the ending did nothing to improve my liking of the series. It... more was hardly surprising yet it was not satisfying at all!
review 2: A lot happened in this book, given that it's the apparent end of the series. It was a good read, I certainly enjoyed it, though mostly for the characters. I guess my only complaint would be that it seemed as though the turn of events which ended the series were almost entirely happenstance. I kinda prefer when the characters themselves are responsible for how things turn out, and in this case, so much of the ending was essentially blind luck. I'd give it 2.5 stars if I could, not quite a three but not as low as a 2 either. less
