This book was very much in line with the other two in the series. I enjoyed the others quite a bit and was definitely excited for this one to release. I didn't like Thor's Serpents quite as much as the other two books because there wasn't really anything new introduced in this one like there was in the last two. There were no more quests to go on, this is it. The end. It was almost a reunion of sorts. The characters had all collected their weapons and learned their skills, so it was much more of a book about how the kids were feeling, and you know, fear for the end of the world (which the author is able to keep at a definite middle reader level) There were some surprising twists thrown in for sure.I guess I didn't like this one as much, which I realize is not fair since a 30-something is definitely NOT the target audience of this book. But, it felt way more cheesy than the other books did. I wasn't quite as aware of my age gap in those previous readings as I felt in this one. There was more repetition in this book than seemed necessary and the humor was not as edgy. Now, all that aside, this series is great. If kids like Percy Jackson, they will absolutely like this one. The Girl characters get stronger every book, the guys grow up a bit and it's got that same humor and action the other books had. It just has to do all of that with the impending doom of the end of the world which is a tough thing to pull off. The author did it quite well... for middle readers.
The latest installment of K.L. Armstrong's Blackwell Pages Trilogy was much anticipated. Once my son picked up the book, he couldn't put it down. When asked how he liked it, he said, " It was pretty good but it could have been better." According to him, it met his expectations but did not go "above and beyond" it. There were a number of times the story line could have been expanded but it almost seemed like the author wanted to rush through and complete the story. It was still a good book and the ending left the possibility of more adventures to come. This book is not really a standalone because you need to know some of the backstories of the characters in the previous installments. He rated it a four out of five stars.
This book, the third and final book of the series keeps you entertained and makes the book hard to put down. There is a lot of action and humor from beginning to end. While there were times I thought there was to much Norse mythology being presented, it did help me understand why certain things happened. Overall this book is a great conclusion to the series.
The last book was probably the best in the series. I almost gave up on reading the first book, but halfway through it I started liking the characters. The last book leaves us with a chance for other stories and I for one cannot wait.
Fantastic series. Have read all three books with my 10 year old son and we BOTH enjoyed them. Strong characters. Landscape made us all want to visit the badlands. Can't wait to see what this writing/visual duo does next.
That was a great book it couldn't of been better though I would like them to come out with a new about like going to school and other stuff like fighting monsters you know the average day in the life of Matt and co.
The final book was good, well written but at the same time it felt rushed somehow. I liked the ending and how the characters where developed. I only wish some of the action was edited so that there was more time for the battle as well as the overall ending. Still a good read.
Great book! I could hardly put it down. The battle between Matt and the Midgard Serpent was epic! Book/series ended perfectly.
