Donna's Reviews > The Dire King

This is the 4th book in the Jackaby series. They fall into the Young Adult Fantasy category. I liked the first two, but my enjoyment is steadily declining. This one wasn't my favorite. I did 'page math' more than a few times. I enjoy the two MCs, but in this one, they didn't really evolve. And the steps they did make in progression were just too 'pretty', which unfortunately didn't build any tension. So I'll round up to 3 stars.
