![]() ![]() And yet, many things are so simplistic even for a children's book. It's a children's book but some of the elements seem too creepy and grotesque which would usually make me think it's better for older teens or young adults. Just like the O Trilogy, I can't really tell what the appropriate audience is. The first chapters seemed promising enough but the further I read, the more I felt that the trilogy was, after all, the superior work. When I first started reading, I noticed that many elements of the story are very similar to the trilogy. I hoped that this stand-alone novel would turn out better for me. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. ![]() I was really keen to read something by a New Zealand author - when I first read this author's O Trilogy, I was somewhat let down. Giant worm-like creatures live hidden under Auckland's vulcanos and lie in waiting for the right moment to surface and contaminate the earth - and they don't intend on letting the twins interfere. Twins Theo and Rachel are drawn into an age-old alien war only to discover that they are the only ones with the power to stop it. ![]()
