Yep, plenty more of Mary Malone and plenty more of what I said when commenting on the first two volumes of the trilogy too. I found this book to be the most slow going of the three especially in the beginning. It felt like the author wasn’t paring the story down as much as in the other books but had less to say. That was only in the beginning though. In the end it’s a fine book, with plenty in it for adults to muse over as well as children, and each part of the trilogy goes in a different direction so you don’t feel like you’re reading the same things three times over.
