Love these
books and this is a thrilling conclusion to the series. Like episodes of Doctor Who on TV, this book
can be read as a stand-alone story, or as part of a bigger story arc (to get the
most from it, I recommend the latter i.e. to read all the Darksmith books in
order).
4.0 out of 5
stars “Riveting read… with sporadic
logic problems every so often to keep you on your toes!”
Reviewed in the
United Kingdom on 8 August 2015
This is the
tenth and last book in this young reader series, wrapping up the adventure. As
with many in the series, the books are almost standalone stories and are quite
lively and interesting, along with the nice idea of having logic or maths
problems every few chapters so you can feel you are taking part in the action.
It does make for a better read.
In this
story, there is a great new location - the space brain. It is a giant school
for geniuses, in the shape of a giant (human) brain. I found it quite fun
having the Doctor drop in like an ofsted inspector, and then marshalling groups
of kids who use their talents to come up with ingenious tricks and traps. The
Krashoks can be quite ruthless and scary, nevertheless the story had a
satisfactory ending with the device finally being fired.
