Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

This book continues precisely where the second book in the series left off (and did so without a real end). Thus, if you haven't read the first two books in the series, you'll probably be utterly lost.
The Runaways and the Felons, still seething each other, have no other option than to join forces to find the entrance portal to Edefia. Not an easy task and time is critical too.
Despite her unexpectedly gained years, Oksa is still torn between Tugdual and Gus. Which one does she love? Or which one does she love more?
Not wanting to spoil the reading pleasure, I'm not going into more detail about what happens in this book. It is, like the previous ones, fast-paced, interesting to read and lots of things happen. Not many surprises this time, though.
So why only 3 stars out of 5? Because this book, like the previous one, stops right in the middle of the story. It's OK to leave some ends open so the reader wants to buy the next book but, like already with the last book, it suddenly stops. This is like you are on your way to visit your friend's house and when crossing a street on the way, you stop walking right in the middle of the zebra crossing: A no-go! At the very very least make it (more or less) safely to the other side of the street and you can stop there, but not in the middle of the street.
Unfortunately, the English translation of this series seems to have stopped after the 4th volume. It is available in German which would, contrary to the French original) suit me, but these very annoying endings, the switch of language and the increasing predictability of what is going to happen are not enticing me to get even the 4th volume right now.
