I look forward to reading the rest of the series, particularly if the others are as brilliant as this! As far as villains go, Lord Loss is evil through and through, creepy, and even I wanted him to leave.

The story begins with Grubbs and although later many other characters are added to the series, he remains my favorite. On several occasions, he has displayed polite and elegant mannerisms which contrast sharply with other more bestial behaviour undertaken at the same time.For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password.

Despite this it turns out that he is actually one of the weaker Demon Masters, though he later becomes the strongest after Grubbs, Bec and Kernel remake the universe. Along with a number of companions she has to find a way to shut the demons out from the world before it is too late. In many ways, Lord Loss bears a resemblance to a spider: His eight arms and the fact that he sometimes moves by crawling across his webbing all suggest an arachnid quality. This review will cover the whole series however I’ll try to keep any important plot points from later books in spoiler tags.

No matter what age this book will be scary, mainly because Darren Shan doesn't shy away from topics that others might not deem appropriate for children.

When Grubbs, Kernel and Bec reset the original Board universe using the Ka-Gash, Lord Loss is placed back in his world in a white square.Meera Flame, a friend of Dervish, who is knocked out while trying to restrain a transformed Bill-E, was supposed to help battle the demons. While at times the first book was more focused on horror the series gradually moves more towards epic fantasy, however Shan maintains his famously brutal style throughout. I was getting to the point while reading this that I seriously wondered if I'd accidentally skipped over the paragraph that explained this. Then afterward, at the cave, before and after Bec, Grubbs, Kernel and Beranabus time travel through the power of the Kah Gash. If you are a fan of horror stories and don't mind gruesome character deaths, then I recommend this series to you.
