I enjoyed these books a lot more than I thought I would. I would have given them higher ratings but sadly we only get snapshots into Crepsley's life and I would have preffered it be more fleshed out. But I enjoyed the themes that came up in them - depression, figuring out your path, making mistakes, redemption. There were a few moments that really spoke to me, and overall I had fun reading them.

“There are some things in life we can never understand, things we are better off not understanding.”

I really enjoyed the final installment in The Sage of Larten Crepsley. It lived up to the hype surrounding its fulfilling background of Mr. Crepsley to the point where I wouldn't mind reading future related series surrounding other character's backgrounds (Vancha, Mr. Tiny, etc.).

The ending was very surprising - I can't say I was expecting that.

If you liked Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series, then I definitely recommend picking up this series. I mean, I did finish both series (16 books) in less than two months so it must be good!
