A review by saradallapalma
Sons of Destiny by Darren Shan

5.0

I can’t put in words how much this series mean to me.
I watched the movie when I was younger so many times because my fav actor was in it. But I never though I would really like the books because they’re middle grade, which is not really my genre.
I started the first one for a challenge and I fell in love with it. The plot interested me so much even in the books that weren’t that plot-centered (apart from Book 10 which was 🤢). I fell in love with the characters and I cried so much when some of my favs died.
I love the fact that the Author wasn’t scare of making people die or put weird or tricky plot devises.

This final book was a phenomenal ending.
I love such ending and I wish there were more in MG/YA literature. For me it was the right choice.
It was a HarryPotterDeathlyHallow-situation but SO MUCH BETTER! For as much as I love HP I always hated the finale. But this? It’s my perfect finale!
When part two started I started being disappointed but then! YES YES YES!!!

In conclusion:

Fav character: Larten, always and forever. I hated Darren at the beginning of the series but I come to love him so freaking much! ❤️

Least fav character: Debbie was SO useless and her only use was being a little love interest but she was so bad at it.

Fav book: Lord of the Shadows + Sons of Destiny

Least fav book: Lake of Souls
