Sons of Destiny (Cirque Du Freak Series #12)

READ THE SERIES WITH YOUR TEEN - you will have lots to talk about!

My 14-year old daughter recommended the series to me and let me tell you - what a ride! once you get over the somewhat childish, slow first 2 books in the series, each one is better than the last! my daughter and I have spent many moments talking about the books. I am starting the Saga of Larten Crepsley series next.

I recommend this book hihly

This book is one of the best I have read Darren Shan added so much details and surprises in this book that it will keep you begging for more but some parts are sketchy most part it's the ending it is confusing and hard to follow but the book was overall one of my favorite books by Darren Shan. I would recommend this book for readers who love suspense and surprises but I would skip the last few chapters if you like the series as much as I did. I would also suggest that you read other series by Darren Shan.

Cirque Du Freak-Sons of Destiny the last book in the Cirque Du Freak Series

This book is the final book in my favorite series I have ever read. The Cirque Du Freak series, written by Darren Shan is an amazing series that grips you from the very start. It is about a boy who goes to a freak show and he loves what he see's. Over the course of the series Darren Shan (also the name of the main character) is converted by one of the members of the freak show into a half vampire. Throughout the series the Vampires are fighting a war against an evil species of Vampire called the Vampieneze. All of the books always have a new twist or an action packed ending that have you begging for more. Every time i finished one of these books i made sure i bought the next one as soon as possible. I am not such an avid reader, but this series of books was able to draw my attention for a long time. This is by far my favorite book from my favorite series of all time.

disatisfied

I'm disappointed personally in the series. come on first off the ending is totally unbelievable and stupid. It's a total cop out he not only killed off all the best characters he made the entire story completely irrelevant. Especially since the series started off with some much promise with its engaging characters and twisting plot line. I felt both shocked and disgusted at the end much as one would feel watching a cute child suddenly walking off a cliff and as you edge closer barely able to look at the mutilated body lying below. I mean come on are you afraid of putting happy ending or are you just incapable of writing one. To anyone one who has had the luck of not finishing the series yet I suggest strongly that you put it down unless your mind enjoys such a twisted horrible ending; in that case enjoy yourself because that's exactly what this is.

Great Ending to seriess!

I was thrilled but sad at the end of this amazing series. This was one of the first series i truly found absorbing, suspenseful, Steve vs Darren? He swore to kill him in the first! all people must read this amazing seires! but if you start at this point, you will be dazzled at the things happening you know nothing about, so start with A Living Nightmare, the st in CDF series

READ THIS OR ELSE U WILL REGRET IT

I totally think this is an awesome book! And i also agree that the ending is kinda , well, quick. Plus its way to happy. If i were the author , i would give the book a dark,tragic, mysterious ending to sort of give it a gloomy feeling. I mean , seriously, why couldnt he b trapped in the lake of souls forever. But then again this is an amazing book and who doesnt like a happy ending! I mean ya, we could use a sad ending every once in a while! I would absoloutely recomend this book/ series to everyone. It is completely filled with acton and mystery. It will keep u on ur toes!

Rushed ending

A horribly rushed, scribbled end to such a great series, the resolution is too quick, starts and finishes both awefully close to the end of the book, and the ending is too happy, ridiculous and fantasy-ish there should be a darker end, but lightened with a spark of hope, like darren meeting his destiny as lord of shadows but somewhat overcoming his darkness and hopefully looking to the future, not becoming a little person and re rwiting history so that itis that he never even became a Vampire! WORST ENDING EVER

Oooo??????

Does darren die i am wondering?@://,,,&,,&&,@&&&&@)-&((&'(&)&)))&'&)&-())

Spoiler Alert!!!! (Terrible Book)

This book was terrible!!!!!! The twist left much to be desired. I wish that We could have leaned more about Darren. The author should have kept Darren alive and given him a destiny where he got married and kept the human race alive. Darren should not have died!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent conclusion to the series, with a very unexpected ending

The final book in the Cirque Du Freak series is about Darren's final showdown with Steve, and the ensuing troubles. Their final battle takes place under an overpass, and Darren is unfortunately disoriented and severely injured. The final fight is neck and neck throughout but an ignorant mistake proves fatal for one of the creatures of the night. After one dies, the other makes a big move to ruin Mr. Tiny's plan and they both end up in the lake of Souls. The loser is destined to suffer forever, but the "winner" is reincarnated by Mr. Tiny to change destiny. Will he?

I loved all the dangerous situations and tough decisions the characters had to make. Every part of the plot was gripping and it never ran out of twists.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves dystopian novels, horror, mystery, suspense, and young adult books.

Good book but disappointed with the ending

Overall very goo book

Great

A great ending!!!

I recommend this book!

I highly recommend this book to people who like scary books. But you would have to read all of the other books in the series before you read this one. I really liked how the book began and ended.

The best book ever

I like books about mythical creatures such as vampires. To me this book was amazing I couldn't put it down. It's just full of twists that will keep you reading.
The main character is Darren Shan he is a vampire prince. In this book him, Vanch, Debbie, and Alice have to hunt down Darren's old friend Steve who is a half- vampaneze. Vampire and Vampaneze aren't very different, vampires only drink a little bit of blood from their victims, but vampaneze suck all of the blood out of their victims, their skin is purple, and they have red eyes. Although both vampire and vampaneze can flit which is running at a insane speed.
I personally think this book is great but you may not think the same. If you don't like books about vampires, fighting, and killing this book probably isn't good for you. The author is very detailed and descriptive.
If you like books about mythical creatures this would be the book for you. It has a lot of blood,gore,and fighting. I recommend reading books one through eleven before you read this book which is Sons of Destiny.
I really think everyone that reads this review should go out and buy these books. You really will like them because I know I loved them. If you don't have enough money get to a library and check out one. Once you read the first book Cirque Du Freak a living nightmare you will want to read all of the rest.
