![]() ![]() I actually read this in print first, and then listened to the audio version afterward. ![]() I also recommend picking up print versions of this series, if you can, because Keith Thompson's intricate illustrations add a whole new dimension to the books, providing great visual aids. If you have not read or listened to Leviathan or Behemoth, DO IT NOW! Alan Cumming gives another virtuoso performance in this third installment, and his ability to give a different voice and accent to every single character (human or otherwise) - while maintaining Westerfeld's lightening-fast, witty dialog and downright cinematic action sequences - continues to be astonishing. This is edge-of-your-seat, high-stakes, nonstop adventure, with plenty of humor, drama, history and everything fans of this series have come to expect. Barking spiders! What a fantastic, breathtaking finale to this great series!
