Review
At first this book was very hard to get into but when I got back to it, I really grew to like it. This is the final installment in a trilogy with the central characters, Sunni and Blaise and artist-magician Fausto Carvo and Corvo's arch enemy, Soranzo. The other books in the trilogy are, The Black Enigma and The Crimson Shard. The book is chock full of mystery, adventure with a touch of horror. The book is chock full of Ouija Boards, ghosts and specters and travel and adventure. The writing and language is charming. Few illustrative touches here and there in black and white.
Overall Book Score: very good
