Sons of Destiny by Darren Shan
5.0

Yeah the Cirque du Freak ends here. I had so much fun reading this series. Twelve books. Almost two years of reading, one every two months more or less. This is a middle-grade series that deserve to be more talk about even if its dated a bit. It has everything I love in children literature. Great characters, action, good plot and twists, which, I mean is also what I like in adult books. I just feel like too often the action, the horror and even the violence is often hide or not present at all. But children can take some, that won't traumatize them and that could even bring them into reading more for some. I'm not saying we should get bloody and gory all over, but a small dose, when it serves the story is totally fine and acceptable. I also like the way the author wrap it up, end it all with this one, it was a nice way to do so. I loved it and now I want to discover more from this author (I know he has written a bunch of series on various names, both children and adult books, just got to think and pick one up).
