Customer Reviews

Good but not great

This book continues the adventures of Jason and company in Haven. I really enjoyed the previous books and was hoping this one would be as great. Unfortunately, it seems rather rushed. There are so many ideas in this book that go absolutley no where. And the ending, well, its like running real fast and then falling of a cliff. Hopefully there is another book in the works.

Gate of Bones Review

This book was a little harder to follow than the rest of the books in the series. Yet the Magickers were dealing with numerous hardships: teenage insecurities, raids/attacks by the Dark Hand, learning an entirely new culture that was hinted at the end of Dragon Gate, AND they were dealing with the real possibility of losing their magic. It did take me a few reads through in order to get the full effect of the new world they find themselves in, little tidbits I had missed before began to stand out and helped bring everything together.
