review 1: It was frustrating how every character managed to die but the three protagonists and the clingy female. I felt that the writer strained to establish the setting as an epic fantasy world, but couldn't keep it consistent when writing the dialogue. Plus all the attempts to incorporate humor were lame, which is a shame considering that the main protagonist is supposed to be a talented jester. Perhaps the writer should have chose a more fitting title for his hero. Given all those, however, I think this was a decent attempt at writing an adventure story for young readers. The language was simple enough to understand, and there were "sweetheart" scenes all over the place--which I think the young girls would love.I would say that the only reason I didn't like it as much is because... more I am a bit too old to be reading books like these, but my younger 12-year-old sister agreed with pretty much everything I said, so...
review 2: The trilogy is now over, and it had such an awesome ending! I'm a little upset that there will be no more Sebastian Darke books, but Philip Caveney did an amazing job this time. I think this book is the most 'emotional' book of the three, I think everything that happened in the lost city of Mendip really touched me. I really loved it! It's a great book if you want to read something with a little touch of adventure. Totally recommend the series to everyone! :)I love the character relationships, Sebastian/Cal, Sebastian/Keera, Max/Cornelius, Phelan/Salah! This is an amazing adventure/friendship book. Aaron's relationship with the children of Mendip was so sad, all Aaron had done for the children... TOTALLY LOVED IT! I enjoyed it a lot, there's a mixture of everything. Romance, adventure, action, mystery. TOTALLY LOVED IT! :) less
