didn't expect the 3rd book in the series to be this strong. Really great read and a nice wrap up for the whole story. I loved to see how the kids and their talents develop throughout the series and to find out more about Constance's (short) life before the society.
As usual, hijinks surround the lives of the four children. Mysteries, puzzles, threatening danger. It was fun, but somehow not quite as big as I was expecting. Still, a great end to the series (I think it’s the end?). [Aug. 2010]
Quite enjoyed this last book. It wrapped things up nicely. No wondering if there might be another book. (Although I suppose there *could* be, I'm not left wondering, at least!) While some of the plot was blatantly obvious to the reader, it was still enjoyable to read.
