Day of the Scarab: Book Three of The Oracle Prophecies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I usually like Catherine Fisher's writing and stories, but I must say that for me "Day of the Scarab" was only mediocre. While the story was interesting enough, the characterization good, there were too many pages used to carry the storyline forwards. I think 50 or more could have been pared down with no harm.
The other thing I thought didn't work in this book was the choppy editing. It's one thing to flip from location and character from one chapter to the next. Another to do it multiple times within the same chapter... chapter after chapter.
For those who read the first two books, you'll probably want to track it down anyways to see what happens. Whether Seth and Mirany get together and what happens with The Jackal and Argelin.
Overall I thought the series was entertaining. The world building excellent.
Better than average.
