![]() Damien doesn't even have Friday night drinks! His predecessor Alanna Steele liked to share a drink and discuss events. If Samara appears in the next and any future books, then her introduction and development here is excellent ground work, but I still think an opportunity got missed. Instead of these relationships being further developed in this book, we got a new member. Harry has Ron and Hermione, whilst Damien has staff. Instead of “detention with Delores” we have meetings with the Council.īut in some ways Harry is better off. It’s where politics invades our hero's world, imposes on it and it is to our hero’s detriment. ****** POTENTIAL SPOILERS ***************įor me this book was a bit like Harry Potter - Order of the Phoenix. It’s fast paced, well written and I’m fairly sure I read it in a single sitting.īut it’s not going to be my favourite book. I want to start by stating that this book is another action packed instalment of the Adventures of Damien Montgomery. I received an ARC in exchange for a unbiased review. I hope the new series will travel down new roads. and we are still no closer to identifying the conspirators. Damien is a badass, he gets seriously injured overextending himself to protect the innocent, etc. It was a gripping read, but it was almost a carbon copy of the last one. This is explained by the fact that the villains know who the Keepers are and don’t have to spend time identifying them, but it is still not my favorite plot device.ĭon’t get me wrong. And the reader is once again frustrated because our heroes are always a step behind. And even if he did, all these people attacked him first, so it was self-defense.īe that as it may, while this is happening the conspirators under the leadership of Winton are currently hunting down all the Keepers to hide their true intentions. Anyways Damien is charged with killing Hand Octavian, whose death is in no way certain, technically he is just missing, and Hand Ngosi, whom he didn’t kill, she was killed by her co-conspirator. The premise of The Incredibles was more believable and that was supposed to be a joke. Damien has to justify his actions before the Council, which is probably one of the most farcical inquiries in the history of SciFi and fantasy. Instead those are probably the focus of the follow-up series the Unarcana Rebellions (the first of which isn’t published until December next year as far as I know).Īs such it is kind of a continuation of the last book and dare I say it, feels a little bit like a filler book as plot wise there isn’t an awful lot of progression. It doesn’t resolve any of the conspiracies or solve the mystery of the Keepers. ![]() ![]() This book is the final one in the Starship Mage series.
