Sons of Destiny (Cirque Du Freak: The Saga of Darren Shan, Book 12

I absolutely LOVE this series. My teenage daughter introduced it to me a few years ago. I just introduced my 10 year old to it. She loved it and wished there were more books to read. If a series can keep a 10 year old up in her bed for hours reading it, you know it's good. This series is an adventure and easy to read. Your child will love it and so will you. Buy it, you won't regret it.

The whole series had me hooked from the start because of the very human perspective it gave through the world it showed us. The conclusion gave me a feeling of just perfection. Even though there were some things that happened between Darren and his family and the war he was thrust into, it was all wrapped up in a very dark bow. The story made sense in the end and I had the hardest time putting it down. I just wanted more book! I recommend this series for anyone who loves plot twists and surprises.

I feel that "The Sons of Destiny" was a disappointing book and a poor way to end the Cirque Du Freak" series. I gave this two stars. This is because the book hasa bizzare storyline. also, the end of the book left me dumbfounded and searching for answers. The characters in the book went against their previous established personalities. Lastly, the climax of the book that author Darren Shan was building up to the entire series, wos not very entertaining to read. In the book, Darren Shan muust defeat his one time friend, but now foe, or die. Will Darren be able to trick the evil Des Tiny and save his friends? This horror book will dissapoint other people who have read the "Cirwue Du Freak" series.

Review:
This was quite a thrilling and, at times, emotional piece. I found myself constantly turning the pages to find out what happened next. Shan put out another fantastic book with just as many twists as before. We are shown those twists and turns of time along with the many paths of destiny.

Evanna also takes a step away from her neutrality, and it is interesting to see how she goes about tricking her own father and helping Darren out. Steve is also brought into a new light, and you cannot help but feel sorry for him. Shan also manages to put a fabulous spin on why he and the main character share the same name.

Shan ended up telling a wonderful story in this series. It was a bit shaky at first, but it found its ground and ended up making a phenomenal read. I'd recommend this for teens and even adults who are looking for a light but entertaining read. A great book and a pretty good series. Shan can expect me to pick up more of his work in the future.

this book was really good not what i expected to end the saga but still a great read, the whole saga was awsome.if your looking for a teen vamp story this is perfect it also has some other mythalogical charicaters....
5 stars
