Title: A King's Ransom
Series: Cahills vs. Vespers - 2nd book
Author: Jude Watson
Read Before: no
My Comments: The story has noticeably taken on a darker tone, and much more interesting. Throughout the whole book, Amy and Dan are on the defensive side, being blackmailed into doing things, which, personally, I don’t like. What the siblings did in this book was incredible, so incredible in fact, that it lines on the border of being impossible and exaggeration. If you think about it, even though they have a lot of resources, they’ve managed to find some artefacts that no one have found for centuries, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t the only people with resources that have tried to find it (apparently the Vespers are a huge threat, yet even they couldn't find it?!?). There are some noteworthy plot twists, particularly the ones involving the father of the siblings. The ending improved the story a lot, and made powering through some of the more bland parts worth it. The death at the end was sad as well, particularly since it was a good character.
Rating: 6/10
