Continues the story from the second book, but feels a little bit of a cheat. At the end it almost feels like it should be about to end, but instead of concluding they just get another set of strangeness thrown at them in the Otherland.
While it does give is more time to find resolution to all the hanging threads, the "main plot" in the virtual world is starting to feel a little drawn out. Still interesting, but not as gripping as on the second book (or even earlier in this book)
