We received the book today. Shipping was expected to take longer, so we were patient! It arrived in the time specified. The book was packaged in a secure way, no damage whatsoever. Price was very reasonable, and we like the note that accompanied the book.

Book 5 continues the standard of excellence the first 4 have set. I have enjoyed the Callindor experience from the beginning. Pacing is steady and characters are of course developed fully. The core group of characters continues to surprise and show different sides of themselves.

The last few books seem to be shifting from a Green Fairytale Book style to a John Carter of Mars style, with a dash of magic to make it more enjoyable.  The humor is getting better too, where its much more open smile-worthy.  Editing levels appear to have dropped a bit. There are places where the wrong character name is used, making the Wait, what? moments occur more frequently.  Theyre not horrible gaffes, but they're certainly notable ones.

Still: the series is quite enjoyable, and you never know what will be happening next, which endears it to me.  Recommended.

Together the 5 books make a good story.  Enjoyed the back flashes.  Looking forward to a resolution of conditions.

I chose the five rating because so far each book has been better than the one before.
All the characters have been very interesting and learning more about each one is wonderful.
Now onto the next book.

I have truly enjoyed the first 5 books in the Courtlight series. Ms. Edun has given us interesting characters that draw us into a fantasy world filled with elements of both the past and the future.  My only complaint is that this particular book seems to have slipped through the editing process with quite a few remaining grammatical errors, enough so that it often disrupted my progress with the book.  Other than that, the book was delightful and I am eagernto read the next installment in the series.

I think this is the twelfth book in the series.  They all follow the same format, boy meets girl, girl doesn't like him so much, they go through some trials and live happily ever after at the end.  But all these books are well written.  Even though they are loaded with sex scenes they still have a plot.  There are references in each book about events which happened in previous books and some foreshadowing for books to come.  To me they are excellent light reading in the fantasy/romance genre.

I so enjoy Percys wonderful sense of humor. He definitely sees the world his own way which is rather understandable given the previous books. Poor Percy has enough on his plate and then he has to try to save the world yet again.

Annabeth has some wonderful lines, as always. In this book her feelings for Percy are a bit clearer, at least to the reader. I don't think Percy has quite figured it all out yet. Annabeth is finally leading a quest and, in her mind, proving herself.

Grover is still on the search for Pan. His time has been cut short thanks to telling the Council of Cloven Elders what happened in the last book. He has days left to find evidence to back up his words or his Searchers license will be revoked.

Tyson is still Tyson. He can be completely clueless about some things and outstandingly intelligent about others. He cares a lot about Percy and Percy cares heaps about him. I think it surprises Percy how much he cares for his half-brother.

Annabeth, Percy, Grover, and Tyson have a quest. They have to enter the Labyrinth and find the creator before Luke and his cronies can. It is a really a race against time and, since the Labyrinth confuses time, they haven't got much at all.

I enjoyed The Battle of the Labyrinth and cannot wait to see what happens in the last book for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

OK, so, we're at the 5th and final collection of the shared world of the Crimson Pact books. This one does not disappoint. It feels a bit different than the earlier books. A minor nit to pick wodl be that there are some new stories with new characters. For me personally, taking a macroview of the series, I really liked the stories that either continued a tale from an earlier volume, either directly or indirectly. There are some continuations here, but some stories apparently have either been finished, or were (in my opinion) left somewhat hanging in the aforementioned volumes.

With that said, the quality of the stories is quite strong. This is tribute to the editing prowess of Paul Genesse, and his ability to find some good authors. I liked most of the stories in all 5 books. Some more or less than others of course (personal taste!).

If this is somewhat vague, it's because  I don't feel like recapping the premise of the multiversal demonic invasion, or spoilling anything. I will say that the last story that "closes" the book was a lot of fun, and had some neat callbacks (especially if you are a Larry Correia fan). It's a nice coda.

I wish the authors and Paul success- I definitely noted some names to check out in the future.

Recommended to all fans of the anthology. If you are reading this and haven't read the earlier books, by all means, go do so.
