Book Review: What the hell, Darren?!
Summary: 2 Stars
Yikes. Wow, but the ending of this book was quite a disappointment for me. And I don't mean bad writing. It's just that an author should care more about his work and more about his readers and less about a not-so-clever way to pull everything together.
The first half of this book: the usual gripping style of utterly explosive fantasy that I expect when I pick up a Darren Shan novel. The plot he has so carefully built over the course of the series is at its height, ready and snapping to come to a conclusion. More information is revealed, and I marvel at the craziness that goes on inside Mr. Shan's brain.
And then... good grief. It was as if he did not know how to end it, and in his conclusion made up something that made a terrible mockery of the entire series.
I kept waiting for him to fix it, waiting for an intelligent and wildly creative conclusion. Instead, all I was left with was a disgustingly cutesy twist that Mr. Shan must have thought was clever.
Horrible way to end an excellent series.

Summary of Cirque Du Freak #12: Sons of Destiny: Book 12 in the Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque Du Freak: the Saga of Darren Shan (Mass Market))
Time seemed to collapse... There was a sharp stabbing sensation in my stomach... Steve crowed, "Now I have you! Now you're gonna die!"Dead if he loses - damned if he wins. The time has finally come for Darren to face his archenemy, Steve Leopard. One of them will die. The other will become the Lord of the Shadows - and destroy the world.
Is the future written, or can Darren trick destiny?
