Another great book. I truly enjoyed the journey through the pages, and was highly upset that it ended. But luckily there are more books in the series.
In my opinion, the characters are written with such life that you will feel like you know them personally. You will feel their challenges, hardships, and joys as if you were there as well.

The story just seems like filler and the main character is indecisive, easily lead with suggestion, and all around doesn't seem to have a back bone. From previous books to this one I've come to the conclusion that he may be mentally handicapped. Most of the side characters seem to have more depth than he does. Then there's the ending which just pisses me off. But despite all that I like the story itself. For that reason and that reason alone I'll read the next book, after that if there are more, well I make no promises.

Things are definitely moving along in this series. Arthur has been infected with a curse by Maldgorath. His behavior is becoming erratic and you don't want to piss him off.

The activity in the series is getting to be a bit more r-rated which is fine with me, but others may not agree. Oh well, too bad for them. In some reviews I've read, others have complained about Arthur's behavior, but I'm willing to see where the story line goes. It would be nice to see him be less of a chump and a bit more heroic...

Can't wait for the next book in the series!
