Explanation Supposing Books The Assassin's Curse (The Blackthorn Key #3)
Christopher Rowe is back and there are more puzzles, riddles, and secrets to uncover in this third novel of the award-winning Blackthorn Key series.Wherever Christopher Rowe goes, adventure—and murder—follows. Even a chance to meet King Charles ends in a brush with an assassin.
All that’s recovered from the killer is a coded message with an ominous sign-off: more attempts are coming. So when Christopher’s code-breaking discovers the attack’s true target, he and his friends are ordered to Paris to investigate a centuries-old curse on the French throne. And when they learn an ancient treasure is promised to any assassin who succeeds, they realize the entire royal family is at stake—as well as their own lives.
In the third heart-pounding installment of the award-winning Blackthorn Key series, Christopher, Tom, and Sally face new codes, puzzles, and traps as they race to find the hidden treasure before someone else is murdered.

35 ★★★ Ego autem non exspecto aeternitatem. Sempiternus sum I do not await eternity. I am eternity. {English}Ive come across The Blackthorn Key series last year and Ive enjoyed reading it quite a lot. Even though its a middle-grade series it has most of the things I like in a book: historical fiction set in 17th century London (and in this third instalment Paris), a little bit of magic and fantasy, puzzles and riddles its like Da Vinci Code but well written, great and lovely charactersOriginally posted on A to Z Book Reviews.Christopher and Tom are back in the third installment of the thrilling Blackthorn Key series by Kevin Sands. The last book saw the duo, with the help of Sally, rid London of the plague. This makes King Charles very happy. To thank them for their service, the king sends Lord Ashcombe to invite the pair to a royal party. While attending the party, Christopher uncovers a plot to assassinate the King. At the last possible second, he saves the King from an
Reader thoughts: I liked this book. Another good Blackthorn mystery!I'm getting a much better sense of who the characters are. Thomas is bigger than I kept imagining. He's big enough to act as a guard or to swordfight or to pick Christopher up from a fall out a window (um, hypothetically). Christopher is the devious thinker who really gets into more trouble than anyone should.In this book, the two friends (plus Sally!) save the king and cause havoc in Paris (including stealing a painting from
How do I say this.... I LOVED THIS BOOK!! Alright the ending almost killed me, and it hurt physically to see what happened to some of my baby characters. I feel like they matured a lot in this book, and for some reason, despite the more pages, this one seemed to go faster. There were a few parts where they didn't feel like the characters I knew anymore, but those passed really quickly.I sense a little romance (okay a lot) between Sally and Chris. I don't mind. I have said it before and will say
I love the puzzles and twists in this series, but the lack of fully developed female characters is really getting to me.
I like the new setting in this book. Now, Christopher and his friends aren't quite as comfortable where they are, and they have to explore and get comfortable with a new setting and a completely new job. Again, I like how Tom knows Christopher so well that Christopher doesn't need to even say anything before Tom knows it's a bad idea. I don't really remember whether that was there in the first book or not, but I feel like it's getting more prominent, like Tom and Christopher are becoming even
Really, really, really good! I still don't really like Sally. Sorry.
