I loved - LOVED - DJ MacHale's Pendragon series. So when I saw this book for sale, I bought it without a second thought. Eagerly I opened the first page. Unfortunately, I can't say that it lived up to my expectations. The story felt saturated with suspense, with each chapter asking more questions and refusing to give any answers. The characters felt like MacHale had copied and pasted the characters from Pendragon and then just re-named them. I'm not saying it was a terrible book, I'm just saying it wasn't on par with what I expected from the author of the brilliant Pendragon series.
