Nayuleska's thoughts
I read the first book of Max's story when I'd only been reviewing books a little while. It seems fitting that nearly 3 years later I'm reading the final book. It was wonderful that Max had a bit more help and protection in this book from his friends It has all the action and thrills of previous books, with an ending that had me crying while messaging a friend online. The ending is perfect, and as someone who sometimes struggles if plots are complicated, all the plot ends were tied off satisfactorily. I really hope Max has more adventures with his family, their reunion was a tear laden moment by both me and the characters in this 10/10 read.
Be sure to find out more over on Paul's website.
Suggested read
Read the series from the beginning, which starts with Escape From Shadow Island.

the cover is really scary!
Normally I would agree with you, but I think it's funny because I first thought it was a big cat, but it's not (my mind is a strange place to be...)
