"The ending of this book is far too abrupt considering the colossal build up throughout it. Nothing is told of what happens to the King and Queen nor what actually happened to Harken, whether he is deceased or not. I am also now confused by the rules governing the Endowed as Manfred Bloor manages to acquire Fire-Bringing either in addition to or in place of his Hypnotism Endowment. That being said, the rest of the story was quite compelling if a little rushed. I am now utterly convinced that Tancred and Lysander are a gay couple as they even shared a chair at one point."

    " I'm not so sure about this one it seemed like an ender but the saga drags on. I liked it though because it finally unites him with his dad. A character I want to learn more about. "

    " i like this series a whole lot. this one charlie is mainly trying to find his forgotten father. so it's like a mystery book and i was right in guessing who it was. it was one of the piano teachers who had been hypnotized forgetting who he was. "

    " Another very good book in the Children of the Red King Seris. In this book Charlie faces his most dangerous power yet and gets a step closer to finding who is father is. The beginning of the book drags you in straight away. With action in every chapter and a very suspenseful ending this book is a must read. I liked how Jenny Nimmo gives different perspectives of all the characters. After reading the four previous books in this seris I would highly reccomend this one as well. People that love action should definetely read this book. "
