\nOnce again, Hardy displays deep thoughts on the workings of magic. The third in the series flicks the protagonists through a series of parallel worlds, each providing a clue toward solving the riddle. The characters are appealing and the description of various worlds and their inhabitants is well done.<\/p>\n
\nI must say that I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up this book, but I was very pleasantly surprised by what I found. I like a good fantasy story that takes place within one or more alternate realities with their own rules – the more exotic, the better.
