Pimiko and the Uncharted Island – Forthright

his is the island of Doctor Moreau - if Moreau were an evil dragon. Amaranthine and Impressions and cross-breeds are lured to the island to be trapped and subjected to experimentation (or breeding or torture or whatever strikes the doctor’s fancy). Now many of the major characters from the series are converging on the island to stage a rescue.

I enjoyed it, but not as much as the earlier books in the series. It was too dark. The villain was too villainous and too capable. And the writer’s style pretty-much promised that nothing too bad would happen to the good guys, so the cliff-hangers weren’t particularly effective.
