Matilda's revenge is almost at hand, if she can just survive long enough to see it through. Her path leads to Shadow Falls, a dark city in the shadow of the Citadel, a second city on a floating island high above the other. All that stands in her way is the ever-present threat of spirit possession, a mad scientist, and a Mask - all of which have their own plans for her.

This one picked up again. Compred to many other books I've read, it doesn't warrant 4/5 stars, but in this case I'm comparing it with the rest of the series. Seeing how I also read the previous book yesterday, that made it a lot easier for me to be sucked back into this world.
Finishing up most of the main storylines, this book handles a lot of the finishing touches rather well. I still think this ''trilogy'' would have been better as one book, but oh well. As it is now, this book is strong, but not the strongest in the trilogy. Thankfully it was actionpacked, and we got a little more character development.
I don't think I'll continue on with the series though, 'cause I'm not a fan of this ''episode'' thing the author has going on. If he has any other, full novels, though, I may check them out.
I liked a lot about the story but not its length. The series is a string of connected short stories in what could have been published as a single novel.
While I liked the characters, they could have been developed more in a longer form story. The main character's family is no more than a mention. The toy maker is a major character but there's not much told about his life except his wife's name and their professions. Those are two examples but there are many more.
The cities are connected by trade but there's no description of the number of cities and how the queen or her government rules. Is it a continent spanning polity, why and how does a nineteenth century tech base maintain a floating city and a base or bases on the moon. Again these are just two examples of open questions which three books should have answered.
I won't be reading any more of the series, not because I didn't like the story but because the story is doled out in small pieces.
