This book is the 3rd edition to the Max and the Midknights series, and has not left me disappointed! This book has new characters, more humor and lots of action! Another reason why I love this book is because it answered a lot of my questions from the previous books, and I felt very satisfied after finishing the book. I would definitely recommend this book to people who are just looking for a good action or thriller book!
