peregrine - , reviewed Decent for a conclusion to the story. on 3/9/2009 + 2 more book reviews

'The Talisman' is one of my all-time favourite books, so I was very excited to get my hands on the sequel, 'Black House'. Jack Sawyer is all grown up and has mostly forgotten his talent for Traveling.. until events conspire to bring him back to the Territories. A new adventure with old friends, a darker tale for the reading audience who has grown up since 'The Talisman' was published, the second book is edgier and more violent than the first. The only thing I did not like about this book is that it doesn't delve into what Jack has been up to since 'The Talisman'. We never learn what he did during the intervening years, so on that score, it disappoints. I highly recommend this book for fans of the first - it is well worth the read.
