Perfectly ended

I was a little apprehensive about reading this book - I started reading this series when the books first came out (2002 I think) when I was 12 and recently returned to it to read the last six books, which I had for some reason never got around to reading back then - so I was hopeing after over five years of reading, it would end well. I can happily say that it did!
Not only a brilliant ending (and the only ending there ever could have been really), but the book itself is one of the best in the series, too! Great ending to a great saga.

Wow!

I love this series so much! Sad about my favorite character Larten, but this series is so epic!
The ending was a shock! Just coming full circle like that, brilliant. It was a very good ending though, but very sad. Well, maybe you could say bittersweet. You'll have to read to see why I say that. I teared up at the end though.
Great stuff. :)

A difficult decision for a brilliant series..
5 Stars
Sons of Destiny is very suspenseful. You don't know what will happen next. The ending is somewhat of a let down, but still interesting. I liked to think about all the possibilities the author let hanging. However, I'm sure he was far more capable of coming up with a something more plausible. The ending was parallel to the classic "And then I woke up. It was all a dream." It leaves the same impression.
Overall the entire series was totally fun. The characters were clearly developed and you felt like you were Darren. You thought what he thought. Often times, authors don't use realistic emotion. In all the Cirque books that was achieved well. Unique scenery, tons of action, and the complexities of a teen vampire make this book a exciting read.
