This review is from: The Last Siege (Paperback)
After reading Bartimeus and Heroes of the Valley, i expected this book to be compelling, readable, and good.
It's not. The characters are flimsy and inconsistent. There isn't much of a story at all. The descriptions are lacking. There are basically no redeeming qualities. I shudder to think that anyone might pick up this novel, and based on the poor quality, never read Bartimeus.

The characters troubled by life's stresses come together to fight for their dignity in creative ways. The story looks at the complications of a teen's life. THe characters are memorable.
