review 1: I got snookered into reading this book by it's awesome cover. The book lacked depth. Characters and plot points lacked description and seemed rushed. The twelve-year-old protagonist acted much older than his years. In other books this wouldn't have bothered me but as it was alrea...

review 1: Steven has really taken to this series. After reading a couple in the series, I found that I didn't feel that it was necessary to read them in order particularly since they are mostly authored by different authors. This one follows the formula and presents some history and exci...
