Rebecca K. (royallibrary) - reviewed on 2/17/2012

I've been reading this series again and again since I first picked up Green Rider back in middle school several years ago. My paperback copy of Green Rider is missing it's back cover, it fell off somewhere between my 12th and 14th reads. To this day it has remained my favorite series of books of all time and Blackveil was once again another great installment of Karigan and Co.

I like how Kristen Britain ties all the different story lines together in a logical, faily easy to follow way. Blackveil seems more of journey book than any of her previous books have been. The main events of the other three take place in or near Sacor City. Here you get to see more of the Country both on the messenger runs and on the Company's journey to Balckveil and then into Blackveils itself. You also saw more of the evil side's power developing and where it might go in the future.

The only thing I will say is that Kristen Britain has mentioned she enjoys torturing her readers along with her characters and be prepared, especially the ending. I wanted to smack her upside the head with the book and say "Why?!" when I finished blackveil, but of course with that kind of a cliffhanger I am going to buy the next book the day it comes out. Overall it was worth the year and half that I spent anxiously awaiting this book's arrival.
