(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to Adina West, Pan Macmillan Australia, and `Never too old for YA books'.)This is part 3 of the `Dark Child' serial, and picks up where part 2 left off.Kat is now discovering that she might not be human, and that there is a lot out there in the world that she knows nothing about. She's coming to terms with the fact that her father probably wasn't human either, and where she should go from here.There are also chapters focusing on a character called Fortes, who seems to want Kat for his own nefarious reasons.In this third instalment we pick up Kat's story where it left off, and follow her as she becomes aware of her possible heritage.I have to say that I'm less than entertained at this point though, the story is dragging so badly and I really just want to speed it up. I'm confused by what exactly is going on, I'm confused by who this Fortes bloke is and what he's up to, and I'd really like to find out for certain what Kat is, and who her father is.I'm not sure if this book is feeling slow because of the fact that each episode was designed to be around 80 - 100 pages long, and with 5 episodes that puts us in 500 page territory, but I really wish the story moved a little faster, and I wish the answers would come faster.I really am in 2 minds still as to whether I want to continue with this series. Although I'm feeling a little bored and frustrated, I would really like to know how the story ends, and I think taking breaks between each episode would probably help me to make it all the way through. I'm also still holding out and hoping that the end of the story will bring it all together and redeem this for me.5 out of 10.
