Ok, I'm usually MUCH better about starting a series from the start, but I needed this one for a reading challenge I'm in. The writing is good, but, if you haven't read the other books, as I haven't, it's rather confusing.The writer takes many common words and embues them with special meaning in her world, which takes some sorting out. She also has some phrases that get repeated over and over and over.It's hard to give a good assessment of book three of a series, but the repetitions got kind of old. I'm not quite curious enough to find the rest of the series. Not a horrible book, but not one I really enjoyed. This is the last of the Ephemera trilogy. The first book is Sebastian. It took me a little while to get into this installment. I think the issue was the time between the last book and this one, taking place a month later. The issue I had was the change in Lee. I won't go into details, because I hate spoilers, but I think if the lapse of time was a few days leading to a month later, and the reader could follow Lee from the time of his sister's return, then I really think I could have re-immersed into the books world faster than what I did. Once I got into the story, I really enjoyed it. It definitely the Anne Bishop style I know. This installment was well balanced. Enough character growth, action, and emotion. New and interesting characters grab you and pull you deeper into the story. The only issue: and this is more on a personal interest, if you read the story, besides like I've said before, no spoilers. But I was curious about the question Teaser wanted answered, and it never was. Otherwise, an ending that did leave room for more tales, but left the reader satisfied, for the most part. Definitely, enjoyed visiting the wild child and the people who live with him.
Do You like book Bridge Of Dreams (2012)?
Oh this was wonderful. So full of people and things and dreams and struggles. Also, I want a Keet.

Read this one before the others and really gained an appreciation for Anne's writing style.

Not as good as the other two books in the series.
