- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was fast moving and had more thrills than the second book. This book takes the children to Nepal and India and they have to use more power than they have been trained to use safely. This leads to some hairy moments, but the twins work together with Buck to find the Cobra King and solve the mystery of all the break ins. I enjoyed the twin's encounter with Afriel the angel and his explanation of how he could run interference for them in New York so that they could help their friend. Can't wait to get my hands on the next book!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this third book in the Children of the Lamp series. I was happy to see that Mr. Groanin finally got his second arm without wasting a wish. I was however sad that Mrs. Gaunt never realized that the Elsewheres were not her real children. I felt sure that she should have gathered that fact before she had left. I am interested to see what plan Uncle Nimrod has up his sleeve to "rescue" his sister and I am wondering what it has to do with Buck's sister Faustina. All in all, I think this edition in the series moved the storyline along nicely. I liked the prologue with Nimrod performing the exorcism and providing the reader with more information about djinns and their abilities. I am going to have to get the next book because I am very curious about the new Blue Djinn and Faustina.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Part 3 of the Children of the Lamp series. Another excellent read in children's fiction. John and Phillipa continue to learn more about their Djinn powers and what they can and can't do. This adventure takes them to India and Nepal and forces them to face off with a new enemy. New plotlines are revealed as are some character relationships.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5These are clever and enjoyable books. Fans of Harry Potter should enjoy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5John and Philippa Gaunt are on another mission. Being djinn they can grant wishes, and being experienced with their other missions they are ready. They have to help their friend Dybbuk and stop a dangerous plan! This book is for people who like adventure and fantasy. Enjoy!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was bound to happen eventually. An author enjoys success with a series of books and along the way, he throws out a stinker. Well perhaps "stinker" is too strong a word for "The Cobra King of Kathmandu" - it does have its good points I suppose - but if you stand it up next to book one and book two, you'll see that this book doesn't quite measure up. It becomes a bit of a slog to get through.John & Phillipa is back in New York, preparing to lose their mother as she prepares to become the next Blue Djinn. They are miserable, not only because of this, but also because it is freezing cold and so they have lost their djinn power. Meanwhile, their djinn friend, Dybbuk, takes part in a robbery at a military museum and steals the baton which used to belong to Hermann Goering. Inside the baton is a secret compartment with priceless paintings - but one painting, unknown to them, is more valuable than the Van Gogh - it is a painting with a secret message showing the location of the long lost Cobra King statue - an ancient relic which people would literally kill to obtain as it contains items that would give them control over a very important djinn, one very close to John and Phillipa's hearts.It isn't long before Dybbuk is on the run and when John & Phillipa try to help him, they are forced to run too. Soon afterwards, mysterious figures kidnap Nimrod & Mr Rakshashas - have they been kidnapped by their arch-nemesis Iblis, who has vowed revenge? Or has another group taken them for another reason?The story is fine enough but some areas of the book are a trek to read and you wonder if you'll ever get to the end. The story also loses pace towards the end and you start to page-flip wondering when things will pick up again.So this book is totally bad but it doesn't stand out as a classic either. I am hoping that the soon-to-be released part 4 is much better.
