Helpful Score: 2

Glimmerglass was a great book, and it started off the series with a bang. Shadowspell was also action packed, and very entertaining to read. Sirensong drug along pretty slowly through the first half of the book. At one point I wondered if I could continue on, but I really wanted to find out how it all ended. I'm glad I did, because the book picks up at about the half way point and becomes hard to put down.

I like Jenna Black's writing style. It is easy to read, yet full of visuals and character development. The reactions of the characters are appropriate, and the language fits how a teenager would speak. The book is very easy to follow, as are her other books in this series.

The only warning I would have, if you are concerned, is that there is a lot of talk of sex before marriage. There are a few cuss words, but nothing extreme. If you have a younger teen, this might be a worry for you. Sex is a central theme throughout the majority of this book.

I gave this 3 stars because the book drug so slowly for the first half. I also thought it felt a bit flat in some parts. I didn't think the ending completely tied up the series, and it left it open for a 4th book, in my opinion. I had to check Jenna's website to see if she was going to write a 4th book. However, it appears that this is the last book.
