Paulo Mello pcmello — ***NOTE MY REVIEWS OFTEN CONTAIN SPOILERS*** When Natalie and Ian steel their plane tickets to Japan and hijack their babysitter, Amy and Dan are forced to rely on Alistair Oh to get them to Japan and the next clue. After throwing Irina off their trail the three are kidnapped by the Holts and then chased by the Japanese members of the Tomas branch called yakusa, who are intent on killing them. With all these people out to get them will they survive to find the next clue and can they trust their companion not to be the one who stabs them in the back? With a multi author series you had to know someone would eventually drop the ball and not remember all the facts present in previous novels. Lerangis is unfortunately the one who let the ball drop. While his plot is still interesting, the contradictions between this installment and the first two novels are massive. For example if you’ve read the second novel you’ll remember that when Mr. McIntyre makes his appearance in the second novel to find out why the tracking device he placed on Grace’s cat has stopped moving, he encounters Alistair who accused him of stealing a clue. When Alistair storms off he leaves the device behind and Mr. McIntyre has it during the conversation with the Man in black. In this novel Alistair has the tracking device on him on the plane. Also Amy and Dan claim to have believed Alistair was the one who planted it on them, but no mention of that was ever made in the second novel To list all the discrepancies would be time consuming at best and probably highly tedious to read, but that give you an idea of the discrepancies I found. Considering a child’s memory is usually significantly better than an adult’s it surprises me that Lerangis was not more careful when he picked up his installment of the series. With Korman having followed through so well, it’s disappointing that Lerangis dropped the ball. Another way this installment differs from others in the series is while the first two novels were filled with historical information offering children an entertaining way to learn, this offers very little in educational information and focuses more on the characters than anything else. It includes the start of a preteen love story plot before decimating that near the end of the novel and other subplots involving the pasts of secondary characters. It was a close third person, fairly well written with a fast paced plot, but wasn’t told primarily in Amy and Dan’s point of view, but more in the points of views of what were previously secondary characters. My final issue with this book is the ending was confusing, under explained and didn’t completely make sense. While most of the characters presented were fairly well presented they didn't remain true to form with their previous appearances. Amy becomes kind of sappy, Dan is almost a brat and the two seem to fight like cats and dogs. Ian is portrayed as less mental and more emotional and though some serious depth is added to this character it doesn't fit with his previous appearances in the series. Irina and the Holts were apparently of little interest to Lerangis as their appearances were a cameo at best. Jonah Wizard and Mr. McIntyre apparently didn't interest him at all as they didn't appear in this novel. Alistair Oh receive some major character development as well but again not all of it fits with his previous appearances. Overall this was a good installment, but not a great one. I look forward to seeing what the next author in the series does with this development.

Catherine Skye catherineskye — This fizzled at the end for me, but overall I thought it was a fine, hard book worth reading. I give it a 3.5. (read in May 2005) ...um, past version of myself, what were you thinking?!? I've read this 3 times now and I love it even more with each visit. Somehow I hadn't updated my goodreads star rating, which is a shame, because seriously. This book is incredible. 5 scary good stars. (note to self January 2016)

Abdissalam Abdissalam faz_3 — 4.5 Stars. I LOVED IT!!!! Now on to #5. Thanks to all my friends here that gave this a rec and the push to read out of order. I don't even like historical bks and seeing as this one was a semi-historical it worked for me.
