Review: Not a sequel to book #2 and not as interesting
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 01 2, 2014
Christopher Nuttall's writing is still as solid in this book as the previous two, so it pains me to only give it 3 stars, but the story isn't nearly as engaging. This is partially because this book does not continue the storyline of the previous two and partially because, taken as a stand-alone book, it reads more as a series of short stories rather than a novel. It's hard to care about any of the characters and I found myself skipping pages at a time looking for something to sink my teeth into.There are some fun moments in the book and the story revolving around the prince can be engaging at times, but by-and-large it's hard to see it as anything other than back-story filler for the first two books.
