The action in this series definitely ramps up a few notches with this one.  Derrick definitely threw some very unexpected twists into this instalment, taking her readers on a wild ride. She also brings to light many things that help to bring the story in a full circle, explaining the outlying factors that drive the story forward.  The duality of worlds in this series becomes even more vividly real with this instalment, for both the characters and the audience.  Also, by writing in the present tense, Derrick infuses the story with an extra layer of intensity.  I love how Derrick can work comic relief into even the most tense moments.  Nothing major, but just a little giggle from a description to remind you that the characters will come out the other side of whatever situation they find themselves in.With everything thrown at these characters in this novel Mikah seem different.  He`s much more approachable and less sure of himself.  Seeing the crack in Mikah`s armour makes him so much more real.  It also shows a power shift in the relationship between the main characters, the relationship is much more balanced now.  This is a very intimate story between the two characters.  As a reader you feel like you have a window into their lives.  I also appreciated how we got to know some of the supporting cast much better with this instalment.  They are no longer simply guardians & employees, but rather friends and family.Overall, this was a captivating and shockingly real wrap up to this series.  Derrick brought everything to a close, without leaving you with a sense of finality.  You can definitely imagine the continuation of this intriguing tale well into the future.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
