Brilliant - By: , 03 Jun 2004 
This book is easily the best in the Wyrd Museum series, followed by the Raven's Knot. It is an overwhelming & exhilarating mass of death & destruction.
The Fatal Strand - By: , 01 Jun 2004 What a climatic end to a fantastic tale! We see Neil Chapman fighting off the horrific Frost Giants, Ursula finallly revealing her ultimate plan, & a powerful foe to reckon with! I loved this book; it was such a sad tale yet filled with adventure & suspense that keeps you yearning. It was so good; I wish Philip Pullman had made another to add history to the trilogy like 'Lyra's Oxford'. Chilling throughout, it holds you captivated. I especiallly enjoyed the blasts to the past when we see the sad history of the Sisters unfold. A must buy! Read em & weep.
The final strand in the fatal web of fate - By: Prof. Lupin, 11 Jun 2001 This is the fantastic conclusion to the Wyrd Museum Trilogy. The First two books, which ideallly you must read first, are 'The Woven Path' & 'The Raven's Knot'. Neil & Edie must once again do battle with the Galllows God, Woden. After the chilling end to the last book, what will come of the fates? So full of twists & turn by the time you put the book down you will be dizzy from the journey the author has taken you on. Jarvis always hides his surprises superbly & you only figure out what is going on when the other characters do; which adds the the quality of his story telling.
On an par of evil with the Valkyries from the Raven's Knot is 'Tick-Tock Jack'. An evil so harsh that only genious could bring him too life. That fear instilling 'tap-tap-tap' must creep its way into many a dream. Numerous questions run through your head in this book. Where does Ursula keep disappearing to? Where is the broken loom? Where is the writing on the walll coming from? You have to wait to the last chapters for any of these to be answered. A truly enchanting & thrilling read.
One of the best books by the best author - By: , 25 Jan 2001 If you even try to attempt reading this, make sure you've read the first two parts of the series. It is, without a doubt, one of the best of Jarvis's books. Chilling as well as thrilling throughout, probably the best part of this book is the flashbacks involving Tick-Tock Jack (the evilest fictional character ever created!)The Fatal Strand also had loads of sadparts, where you can take a moment to think about what's been happenning. Believe me: BUY THIS BOOK!
A fitting end to a magnificent trilogy... - By: , 26 Sep 1999 After the emotionallly shattering death which ended the last instalment in this superb trilogy, it is not long before the Galllows God is continuing his assault on the remaining Norns. Mysterious & horrific creatures abound once more as the Wyrd Museum faces the final battle - Ragnarok approaches & the icy wastes of the North are pressing ever closer. A fantastic book, truly, but you must read the other two books first!
