I had missed these type of books and stories. Children's books have turned into stories about sexy bad boys and helpless damsels in distress.This was different. This was heavily based on mythology, known and unknown legends.It was also a good adventure, the part with the corpse on Halloween was great.And the Demon's banishment part was good, too.And i also liked the revelation of the murderer. Surely, it was not a detective story, but a kid's book, but after i learnt who was the murderer, it suddenly became very obvious. There had been clues from the very beginning.I also liked that the names of the characters had meanings:Cassandra--(Greek mythology) always had premonitions, and no one believed her.Medea--(Greek mythology) a brave woman.Morrigan the crow was well thought, too; who knows Nordic mythology will understand what i mean.My only concern was why was the bad guy named Dickens? It was a really original name, but i don't yet understand why. Does it have anything to do with the great writer?Fine adventure, and the synopsis of the second book sounds even better.
