I liked the variety of villains, but the ending didn't tie up with enough excitement or resolution for me. (  ) Cecrow | Dec 21, 2007 | Yet more time has passed. Nest is back in Hopewell, having been an Olympic athlete, and John Ross grows ever more tired. They must end up working to stop a demonic preacher, and a dangerous magical source from doing bad things to small town Hopewell and the rest of the world. Both John and Nest must struggle with the problems their own powers causes, as well as working out how to fight their opponents. http://superprose.blogspot.com/2006/1...

Once again, John has been shown that the future is grim if he fails, though as usual he does not know what failure might be. Nest is drawn into the problem again as she helps John defend the morph and some old friends against the demons.
In some ways, while this is fantasy fiction, it feels too likely - what if demons really are prompting people to do the horrendous things they do in real life, and what if that means the demons are winning. As usual, this is a well written story that keeps you interested until the very end, and then you want more. (
