It has no effect on the price that you pay.Gr 9 Up-The final volume of the 'Madman's Daughter' series (HarperCollins) accomplishes something too often lacking in trilogies-a third volume that is as compelling and well-written as the first installment. ***Affiliate program disclosure: I am not being paid to review this book, but if you do click on the picture and purchase the book through my Amazon link, I will receive a small kickback. If you like a little bit of a mystery, laced with deep moral questions, this is the book for you. How much influence does ones upbringing have on the choices one makes? Juliet seems greatly perturbed by that question throughout this series–I would say that is definitely the underlying theme.Īnyways, this is definitely a strange book in a strange series, but it is intriguing.

Nonetheless, I did remain intrigued throughout this book. It’s such a strange mix of history, drama, mystery, and straight-up bizarre sci-fi style, that it really doesn’t fit into any of the traditional genre boxes.

She’s trying to forget the horrors of that island, but when somebody begins killing off people who are close to her, with a familiar clawed marking, she finds herself inexorably drawn back into the malignant drama her father began. The story of Juliette Moriarty continues from the Madman’s Daughter, picking up several months after she escaped her father’s island and made her way back to England.
