I drooled over the first book in this series in another review. This book (and the previous one) are just as good. Solomon's plight just keeps getting more complicated, as he gets caught up in quickly moving events throughout the series. In this volume, he has to contend with what was behind the veil at the doors to Tartarus, where we last saw him at the end of THE LAST HUNTER - PURSUIT. It isn't pretty. But along the way, we'll see Solomon triumph over his guilt and reunite with some lost friends, before he has to face Ninnis in an ultimate showdown on the surface of a very changed Antarktos.Also, as promised, this series is now starting to dovetail with the events in ANTARKTOS RISING (another excellent read).I believe this series is going to be huge! If you are fans of THE HUNGER GAMES series or the PERCY JACKSON books, you should check it out. I've also said in past reviews that even though the series is ostensibly a YA series, adults will enjoy it just as much. It's layered with emotion, strained through action, peppered with monsters and creatures, mixed with mythology, and sprinkled with pop culture references from the 80s, all leading to an incredibly tasty recipe for action-adventure junkies!I can't wait for the next two volumes.
