First off let me say that Mr. Corridington( however you spell his name) needs to seriously stop hating on Connie! He's been doing that from the start, trying to get her in trouble and expelled her from the society! He got what he deserved! HMPH!Anyway, Mines of the Minitaur counties Connie's journey as a universal as she faces a dangerous force in her mind that threatens to take over her. But with the help of friends, can Connie find out what's causing her strange behavior? And how can she get rid if it before she destroy's humanity?So yeah? This was a great book. It was really awesome. I had kind of mixed emotions. I'm mad, then sad, the scared. You never know what might happen. There have been close calls. But I really love the book. Connie finally rises up as a leader with courage. she becomes stronger and learns to not hide from her powers. Even the bad parts. She really has became a much stronger person, plus Connie and Col are so getting together. i can see it, and so can Rat. Susan is a great author, now I have to find a way to read the 4th book! It's not I the library! What am I going to do?

Do You like book Mines Of The Minotaur (2008)?

I'm starting to like this series more as it progresses. The characters and their relationships become more complex as the series progresses, and the themes become darker. This is particularly true of this volume, in which the protagonist must come to terms with the fact that everyone, including she, holds darkness within the "labyrinth" of her mind, and that she must not only lean on others to navigate this darkness, but allow them in (quite literally in this book's plot) so that they can fend off evil.

Connie is facing her darkest test yet; Kullervo has forged a bond in her mind, and she can't help but follow his orders when her defenses are at their weakest. It is only with the help of her friends and their companions that she can make it through, and thankfully many come to her aid just as she needs them. Connie and Col are growing up, and a future romance is hinted at but not yet explored. I really enjoyed this one, as Connie was struggling and not everything worked out the way it should. A certain someone ends up with his just rewards as well. An exciting series, but I don't know how I'll continue it. My library doesn't have a copy, and I haven't seen it for sale either. We'll have to see if I finish this series, but if I get the chance I'll take it.

Summary:Connie is dealing with her battles with Kullervo who has forged a bond with her. He continues to control her as her powers are growing out of control. She is expelled from school and is sent to her Great Aunt. In the process, she runs across a Minotaur. The Minotaur helps her deal with her inner demons and save creatures in the process.My thoughts:I am partial to character development. This is the first time that we really get to know Connie. We discover, along with Connie, all of her strengths and weaknesses. This is darker than the first two books, but it is because Connie is really dealing with everything going on in her head. I was sucked into the character and didn't mind the lack of description in other areas. I found that the world building was not as good within this story, but is definitely a great set up for our last book of the series.
