But they know that the biggest clue to the mystery is Jed himself.
Who is he? And what is hidden in his past?
The third in an action-packed series full of adventure, this book has an illustrated narrative running through it, helping readers to solve the mystery alongside the characters in the story.
Still enjoying this series although this particular book feels too much like a catalogue of disasters. It's one thing after another with a bit too many coincidences (for example, after wading through sewage the group, by chance, happen to find themselves in a place with working showers and a pile of clean clothes that fit them!). I also feel that when there's no let up from the pace then that actually starts to feel "normal" and you don't get the same sense of danger, tenseness or suspense. It's also obvious that there's another book which means you don't really get a complete ending to the story. That said, I'll be reading the final one ...
Liking the mix0media approach and an exotic destination on the journey, Turkey this time and its important sites, like Hagia Sophia told in detail within the alchemy narrative plus it feels tense because the deadline is almost up and you can see it happening.
