Path of Beasts
by Lian Tanner
The Keepers, book three
The city of Jewel is in peril once again, as it is held captive by the frightful
Fugleman, his band of Blessed Guardians, and an army of merciless mercenaries.
There's no doubt that Goldie and Toadspit want to get their city back, but how
can a small group of children fight against such overwhelming forces of evil?
And how, as Goldie is determined, can they avoid bloodshed in a war that will
set thieves against soldiers, and trickery and deception against a mighty cannon
that shoots cannonballs bent on destruction? As Toadspit fights the Fugleman in
a duel to the death, Goldie must face her hardest task yet. If she is to save
the city, she must walk the mysterious Beast Road, deep inside the Museum of
Thieves. No one knows where it goes and no one has ever returned from it. (description from Amazon.com)
An amazing end to the trilogy. While I felt that things were not quite as strong in book two as they were in the first (which I absolutely loved!), I am sooo pleased to say that book three did not disappoint in the least. Goldie, Toadspit, Bonnie, Mouse, and even Pounce team up to save their city, defeat the evils they could face directly, and even indirectly, and each finds the place they belong forever. Strong characters, an intriguing and danger-filled plot, and a Museum that once again left me longing for a chance to explore it... this book packed quite the punch. I cannot wait to read more from this author, even though this particular story may be finished.
