Demian's Thoughts: |
This is an excellent book with lots of interesting details and well-described settings. Some of the themes from this book were revisited in the seventh entry of the Earth Inspectors series. In an e-mail received long after reviewed this book, Mark J. Tilford commented on something I hadn't noticed at the time: there are no loops in this book, so no matter what choices you make, you can't help but reach the ending eventually. In most of the other entries in this series, you could theoretically at least get stuck by making the same choices over and over again. |
Special Thanks: | Thanks to Ryan Lynch for the cover images. |
