I read this book because I wanted more from the characters in the Chronicles of Nick Universe. This book is defiantly not a genre that I read. while not a total shock, I personally would have been extremely happy if it was lacking the detailed descriptions. Additionally, there were some discrepancies with the characters. I do give some grace for that though, as it was written a decade before and the Chronicles of Nick series was much better for them (as they came second) plus giving what happens in the last few books I can also explain/justify them. 😉 LoL
