The Masters of Darkness

The final book of the Magnakai Lone Wolf series, stretching 12 gamebooks up to this point. And you'd better hope you did start from book 1, since not having that one key item from book 1 will make book 12 very difficult to complete due to the overpowered enemies. Unfortunately, having the one item will make most of the fights bearable will make the finale such an anti-climax that it's almost a joke. A poor choice of a series finale, considering the 12-book journey to get there.

Still, the writing is one of the best as Lone Wolf delves into the heart of the enemy. The prose and descriptions were top-notch. Despite the rant about finale scene, the story does comes to a nice closure and puts to rest a long and memorable adventure. I still look back at the first time I've read a Lone Wolf book with nostalgia. And every decade (gosh, I'm feeling old) or so, I seem to pull them out and start the 12 books over again (don't know why, but I seem to have less fondness for books 13 and onwards).
