It sucked me right in to its world, and a couple of hours later, after finishing it, I dove right into book two. FINALLY, at 1 am. I closed book two. Both were superb and I’m not exactly the target audience (I’m 51).

Looking forward to the last book of the trilogy (and yet I’m not… cause then it’ll be over…. and blast it, I don’t want it to be over).

Regardless, they were great fun.

Thank You.

I’m always on the lookout for new fantasy novels for my son, and one with a Mythbusters-esque twist sounds right up his alley…

I hope my 10 year old son will take to it, it’s hard to find YA fiction that he likes.

One of the unexpected pleasures of fatherhood has been discovering how much fun it is to read books out loud to my kids.

Ita I’m glad you like the characters.

M.A., the book reads up–you are right in the zone!

At least in, say, geological time…) they sound like great fun.

Prineas is excellent at creating characters I care about.
