A good book, definitely an intriguing story. My main issue is that the series is so long. As much as I wanted to see what the clues led to in the end I just couldn’t keep reading these books because it was too much of a commitment. Now that’s just my opinion, I know a lot of people enjoy long series and that’s perfectly alright, to each his own right? Personally I didn’t want to buy this many books and I didn’t always have easy access to borrow the next books. I don’t particularly enjoy reading a ton of books online either so it was hard to keep track of the story between books. I also try to focus on only one or two series of books at a time and I didn’t like how long I knew it would take me to finish the whole series.

One of the few series I didn’t read through the end, not because the books are bad, I just felt like the series had no end. I believe most good books must reach a conclusion or they aren’t that great of books since many things are left unresolved.

If you enjoy the books, I’ll just warn you that it’s a long commitment and if you want to make that commitment I encourage you to read on!

I thought this book was very interesting. I didn't think it started out slow by any means. I was hooked immediately. As a young boy I loved shows that had scavenger hunt type plots that also had tons of dangerous quests. I would honestly recommend this book to anyone that has a thirst for dangerous adventures.
