A fine finish to the trilogy. Clever, creative, and well-crafted. Well-developed and interesting characters. Imaginative setting and storyline, loosely rooted in world history, but also incorporating various mythologies (especially middle eastern and oriental). No complaints, but I will say that, for whatever reason, these books did not seem to capture the attention and thrill the imagination of my listeners like I would have expected.Trilogies are hard to write: sustaining the characters; developing something new; creating new adventures. Yet did a reasonably good job in writing the City trilogy. Great read for middle school youth; good read for older people. Yep is an author who can and does entertain!
I love love this series. It has to be one of my favorites!
Born June 14, 1948 in San Francisco, California, Yep was the son of Thomas Gim Yep and Franche Lee Yep. Franche Lee, her family's youngest child, was born in Ohio and raised in West Virginia where her family owned a Chinese laundry. Yep's father, Thomas, was born in China and came to America at the age of ten where he lived, not in Chinatown, but with an Irish friend in a white neighborhood. AfterOne final leg of the journey is left for twelve-year-olds Scirye and Leech, Kles the miniature griffin, Koko the changeling, and Bayang the dragon in their pursuit of the international criminal named Roland and his accomplice, Badik the dragon. Our heroes head to Riye Srukalleyis (you'll want to consult the book's Guide to Pronunciation on that one), the City of the Dead, for a showdown to avenge the people Roland and Badik have murdered and to reclaim the irreplaceable artifacts the pair has
this send off was a little disappointing as the giant thingy sort of started to go into the typical as many books do these days. but no matter, it was still a good book.
Wow. There's a monster underneath my feet, and I didn't even know. Help! Oh wait, they defeated it. Phew!
