A review by arthurian
The Fall of the House of Cabal by Jonathan L. Howard
5.0
And here we are! The (possibly) final book! I can't express how much I loved it. And since I never wrote a review for any of the previous books (I chose to, instead, mention how great they were to any friend who would listen!) this is going to be an overall review.
I've read all the books in this series with equal love, interest and amusement and they are one of my favorite book series and the main character, a necromancer of some little infamy, and his brother, a monster by some authorities a good chap by all the rest, will be among my favorite characters for a long time !
The fifth installment, which is possibly the last (though I hope not!) is good as ever, original, amusing, and packed with adventures that are new!
It was also great to see the characters grow or get to know them better throughout the series. In this book, none of the main cast, Cabal, Horst, Leonie or Zerenyia, were who they had been at their first apparence without distinctly departing or going against their personalities. Who would have guessed Johannes' character arc would include learning to appreciate his friends in his own unique way!! And who has read the series wouldn't love good-hearted Horst to become more than that nice vampire fellow?
I loved the dark humor that was always present, the beauty of the writing and the action packed plots against the backdrop of a worthy, almost impossible and admirable pursuit.
Read this series, it is definitely worth it!
