review 1: After the huge disappointment of the previous book, we get to the finale. I really enjoyed it. It was one of the few times with the series that I stayed up to try finishing the book.I was expecting a big showdown for the final book. That didn't happen, though I suppose every other book threatened the end of the Nightside; I was rather used to those stakes by now.All of the usual suspects were in this one, though I was disappointed that a book with Suzie on the cover didn't actually have Suzie in the book until the final couple of chapters. Though, I'm a big fan of Julian, so that helped.Overall, a good end to a series. I'm glad I stuck it out.
review 2: Although I liked this series, I'm glad that it is at an end. I got weary of the way this author writes and th... moreey way he's constructed this world. The last entry into the series was particularly lackluster, the intro murder mystery scene was completely boring and of course there is plenty of random events that happened at the perfect time. Its one thing when a character gets a bit of luck, i get that, but its another when this becomes a plot escape for the author. That's what has always bothered me the most about the Nightside series. Whenever a character needs something to happen, it just happens, because Green hasn't defined any limiting properties on his characters or the Nightside world in general.John Taylor's gift apparently lets him do almost anything, except when its convenient for the author to advance the nefarious plot of the bad guy. Then he just doesn't mention it. For me its exasperating to read a book like this because it feels like a cheat. When building up to a climax, I'm on the edge of my seat thinking "Oh this time he'll do something clever", but no, it's always, "John used his gift and it was the easiest thing in the world to vanquish evil." YawnNow that this series is at an end, especially with this weak conclusion, its the easiest thing in the world to put down this series and be glad there isn't any more. less
