  I loved this trilogy and how it ends with an open end. I found that this was interesting of how it incorporated Norse mythology in this one. It has been an entertaining thing to read and should be adapted in some way.

  Warriors of the Raven - The Legendeer Trilogy Book 3 by Alan Gibbons - Here was the series finale- the characters almost all know what they are in for and are quite eager to jump into the new Legendeer computer game's alternative reality, this time set in the world of Norse mythology.

  I for sure didn't expect the ending, but it makes sense bc stories are everywhere and you can't get rid of them.

  Well, well, well. The majority of the content of this book I would describe as a definition of anti-climax, but, in all fairness, there were some redeeming parts. The storyline was repetitive from the previous two books and it bored me. Most of the time, I felt like nothing was happening, and then when things did happen, they were over in a page or two.
  
  Although I liked the way the series was finished, it feels like Alan Gibbons has some kind of rule with himself that the book must be a certain amount of pages and no more - like he's trying to make the book as short as it can possibly be. All his endings are nice but I wish they could go on for at least five more pages. For instance, the epilogue started saying it was two weeks later from the last chapter, but that was mentioned vaguely in one sentence before the action started. This was stupid because it felt like it was happening immediately after - the scene should have been set more thoroughly before things relevant to the storyline started happening.
  
  The part before the characters went into the game was cool, but as soon as they went into the game, I found myself losing interest. I can only say I'm glad this is just a trilogy because this whole going-into-the-game thing is getting really old. It was a good idea to base it around the Norse Myths (the reasons are given in the book) but the reality of it was extremely disappointing.
  
  One of my favourite storylines in this trilogy was the one with Adams, but the ending to that was (you've guessed it) anti-climax and almost non-existent. I could think of a million ways it could have been done better.
  
  Overall, the worst book in the trilogy - lots of the pages might as well have been blank for all they held my interest. A nice ending but could have been done a lot, LOT better.

  The final book in the 'Legendeer Trilogy (Book 1: 'The Shadow Of The Minotaur'; Book 2: 'Vampyr Legion'). As with the previous books, this story is also set in the myth world -- of the Norse, in this case -- where men and gods are equally mortal. This is where the Gamesmaster (insert your own personification of evil) plans to make his final stand, by the use of more-than-real computer games, and defeat mankind once and for all, cross over into the real world and rule with a fist of darkness. In true fashion for such a tale, there are sacrifices to be made. Can the Legendeer continue to stand in the breach between worlds (a savior of humankind, if you will), and defeat the Gamesmaster, once and for all?

  This third instalment was better than the second one (which I want to believe never existed). But it did not live to the expectations from first book. I think this series could have been so much better. The idea behind the story was great, but I felt like it wasn't implemented right. The lack or charater developement and inconsistency dissapointed me. I made myself finish tgis series, but I will only ever reread the first book.

  Not as good as the first book - one of those series that should've been left alone after the first one.
