Spectre's Review
Jord gets his lost arm back from one of the swords. I thought that was cool. This one really brought the other two closed
quite nicely. I really liked the part where the humans actually take on one of the gods and succeed. Quite a bit more
action and direct dialog in this one than the other two. I honestly couldn't put this one down. The whole series is just
plain fun!
Spectre's Rating
Once again, very good.
