Meg: I heard Robert Beatty say that this one (#3) is by far his favorite and I think the more developed themes of self-sacrificing friendship in this novel make me want to choose it as my favorite … but I’m still going to go with book #1. There’s more mystery surrounding who and what Serafina is, and the plot moved faster. Natalie: The first book is my favorite of the three. SO WHICH BOOK OF THE THREE IS YOUR FAVORITE? I did think this one was a little more “mystical”/New-Age-y than the previous two. It’s gripping and a little darker than the other two, but in a similar fashion still gives you something good to fight for. Meg: Once again, I read this in a sitting. It was fun to read it so close to Halloween. But I have been reading a lot of fantasy lit lately, and I think maybe I overdid it in the supernatural. Natalie: This one didn’t land for me quite like the other two. Within the first few pages, I found myself asking, “What in the world is going on here?” In that respect, Beatty does not disappoint.” ( Serafina and the Black Cloak & Serafina and the Twisted Staff ):ĪB: I thought Beatty continued to do an excellent job of hooking the reader.

OVERALL THOUGHTS OF THIS THIRD BOOK COMPARED TO THE OTHER TWO 3 reviewers reflecting on the 3 Serafina books – and how book #3 compared to the others.
