52 - Week Forty Two - DC


This book is just to cool. Although I have to say that this one was kind of sad and depressing. We start out with Renee in the cave in Nada Parabat, trying to do some soul searching. The answers she finds are more confusing than the question. Then we go to the Tower of Fate in Salem, with Ralph and the Helmet of Fate. They've gathered up all the magical artifacts that they need, and Ralph is ready to cast the spell that will take him into the netherworld to look for Sue. One problem though, it's not really the Helmet of Fate, but rather Felix Faust. It seems he was posing as the helmet because he made a deal with Neron to set his soul free, but he had to bring him another soul in return. He choose Ralph. But Ralph figured out it was him a long time ago. Not all the details of the plan, but he knew Felix was involved. Anyways Neron shows up for a soul, and since Ralph won't go, he's going to take Felix's. But Ralph stops him and says he has to give up Sue before he can go any farther. Long story short, Ralph had put a containment spell on the tower, so that Felix couldn't escape. Which also holds in Neron. But Neron gets made and kills Ralph. The problem now is the only person that can take back the spell is the person that spoke it in the first place. So with Ralph dead, it appears that Felix and Neron will be trapped in there for quite some time. Which from what I understand, was Ralph's intentions the whole time. Pretty crafty guy there. So is he really dead? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But in the meantime, this is a phenomenal series. Love it!
