Murdered by the First Families’ war leader, Camille has finally shown her true nature: she is the Midnight-Child, the envoy of Evil! Her friends, however, don’t know it yet, as they’ve all been scattered by accident or treachery. Leila, imprisoned by Neosalem’s authorities. Dodzi, captured by their enemies of the Last Families. Ivan, presumed dead … Only Terry, the brat, has managed to escape along with the Master of Knives. Not the most conventional of teams …
When this series was first announced I was unsure. A bunch of kids. No adults. "blah blah blah". With the first volume my interest was piqued, however, I was still not convinced and I thought this might get boring pretty fast.
I was wrong, of course, because this series has delivered over and over again. This volume is no exception and the interactions between Terry and the Master of Knives is at times funny, deadly serious and also touching. If you jump on with this volume it will be confusing but if you want a series to start with -get volumes 1-9 because you cannot go wrong!
