A reader of my Mr Crepsley books, called SHAUN, recently finished Palace of the Damned, which is the third book in the series, and wrote a fabulous review for it over on Facebook. I've posted the link for it below, but just in case that doesn't work, I've also copied in the review here -- I hope you don't mind, Shaun, as I didn't want anyone to miss it, and those Facebook links can be fiddly!!

"I recently had the pleasure of reading Darren Shan's “Palace of the Damned,” and I must say, it was truly an exceptional experience. From the very first chapter, I was drawn into the story, and it masterfully tugged at my heartstrings.

"The depth with which Mr. Shan delved into Larten’s feelings was simply captivating. I found myself empathizing with him, feeling his anguish, and sharing his pain. It is rare for a book to evoke such raw emotions, but Darren accomplished it effortlessly.

"The ending of the book was nothing short of a cliffhanger. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Darren threw a curveball that left me craving for more. I couldn’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and eagerness for the next book in the series.

"In fact, as I write this review, Book Four is already waiting by my side, ready for me to delve into the FINAL chapter of this enthralling saga. I eagerly await each twist and turn, knowing that Darren will deliver a story that will keep me on the edge of my seat until the very end."
