Like book two, this one ends with a long, detailed, exciting battle sequence. Also, like the previous story the battle is a two-parter. The Delvers continue to grow in strength at a staggering rate, but that doesn’t make their lives any easier.
An aspect of this story that is central to the plot is also what I find the only real drawback. For the most part, the Delvers remain separated after the the final battle of the previous book. While allowing for more characters to be introduced, it also changed the dynamic of the series some. However, the hallmarks of the series, humor, creativity, and occasional pop culture references, continue.
Jeff Hays does a great job, again, as the narrator. He is solidifying himself as a narrator I enjoy following.
