Reading #2...
The last in the series usually makes me cry. Even as the second reading, and even though I didn't love it like I did the first go-round, I still bawled at the end.
I had the same problems with this text that I did with Lirael. The only thing that was worse with this text is that there are three perspectives that Nix switches between. Two of which I couldn't stand. Again, I just wanted more of Lirael and less of everyone else.
Overall, this is a decent trilogy, a decent fantasy, and a decent read. I am not as super-gung-ho as I was with my first reading, but I think I could sell these books to certain students. These are definitely not as female-centered as I originally would sell...
There is more action in this final book, and certain students could really love this aspect.
