I loved reading this book! This book showed friendship, love, trust, faith, and hope. Friendship is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

I'm not too sure about this book. I may finish it later.

Predictable, but it's a mug of warm milk on a cold night.

Ned & Ben's adventures! They've got taken as slaves? Oh no! Ofcourse they got out somehow. Great series as always from Jacques!

i absolutely loved this last book the in this series...at least i think its the last book. it has been left open ended so i am intrigued to see if there will be anymore in this series. i was hooked from the beginning plot wise- i needed to know what was going to happen, so i ended up reading the whole book in a day. please read these books, they are incredible.

Awesome ending to the trilogy, although the story lasted longer than I expected. Well done, Mr.Jacques, very well done.

Not bad.

This book might have gotten four stars from me had it not been so depressing in the end. ='( *sniffs* This is my least favorite of the three book series.

Be warned. It's a sad, sad ending. *sighs*

This was an amazing book that had a great theme and was also entertaining.

I always enjoy Brian Jacques. It was a great adventure with pirates and bad guys and cliffs and nuns! I recommend the other two books as well. You can't go wrong with Brian Jacques.

Amazing third installment! READ THIS SERIES!

This used to be my favorite book when I was younger and though I've slightly soured on it upon my second reading, it is still a very good book. It continues the previous two book's strengths of having incredible characters and vivid imagery. Ben & Ned are once again surrounded by a dazzling array of supporting characters that enhance the story.

But the biggest strength of this book is its villain. Much like the early phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the first two books in this trilogy had a villain problem. None of the "big bads" were great or terrifying enemies, for a host of reasons. Some were constantly made to look foolish or ineffectual, others were done away with far too easily. That is most definitely not the case here, as the slaver Al Misurata is a despicable, intelligent man. Ben & Ned battle with him throughout the entirety of the book and he feels like a genuine threat. Even through all of the other, smaller storylines, Misurata is always lurking in the background.

As we have done with the other two books, we have to talk about the ending here. While it's not the level of Castaways's ending, it's at least better than the one in Angel's Command. But this ending is not just the ending of the book, it's the ending of the entire trilogy. In a way, this melancholy ending is kind of perfect for the trilogy. It gives hope for the future but doesn't let the reader forget that our two heroes are cursed to forever roam the Earth, robbing them of the two things they desire most: stability and friendship. It's a tragic ending, but it's perfect for this trilogy. At the heart of it, this is just a heartbreaking series about a boy and his dog, and how they are forever cursed. A happy ending just wouldn't work here, we needed an ending just as tragic as Ben & Ned are.
