Publisher's summary

Dawn breaks, but the nightmare only intensifies in the shocking finale of The Boy in the Iron Box. In a final confrontation, the true nature of the Boy is coming to light.

In a stone chamber, the familiar young figure lingers with an unsettling calm. He has a question for Liev: Do you want to stop me? Now, for two merchants of death, each with his own purpose, one last contest lies ahead.

From Academy Award–winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Encounter, chapter six of The Boy in the Iron Box, a blood-chilling serialized novel about an ancient secret that was never meant to be unleashed, featuring exclusive interior artwork. Each chapter can be read or listened to in one breathless sitting.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

THE PERFORMANCE OMG

I loved this series. It’s so well written, well told, well narrated, EVERYTHING, I mean, I knew I would love it simply because Guillermo Del Toro, but wow. It was so short, but it felt so perfect. The ending??? Are you KIDDING ME. I also need to say that when I tell you I loved the performance, I’m serious, I LOVED the performance,

Thrilling

I read all six of the books. I thought the storyline was amazing. It kept you engaged with each book. I became quite involved and part of the book. The performance of the Rita was excellent. His voice was perfect for the narration. This series kept me on edge. I don't know if I would want to read another like this one. It was good well written.

Aww man!

So the finale was good, but I feel it let me down. I think the time taken to explain “The Boy” took over the action that should have been considered for the actual ending. Even the time it took for Levi to prepare for the Final Boss was fast, but it fooled me. It made me think the battle was going to be epic. Nope.

Without giving away any spoilers, I have to say that the fight was quick. The actual end was one of those, “Aww man” kinda moments. That part didn’t hurt, but all that lead up to it was a bummer. Still a cool series.

review for entire "The Boy in the Iron Box,"

What I really liked about this set of stories was the perfor.ance of the narrator. It very well written with good characterization. The narrators deep voice and convincing Russian accent sets a properly foreboding atmosphere. The pacing and tension built well. It

That voice!

I love when stories switch up the voices, esp when it's a different, disembodied voice, like the boy's. This was my favorite book out of the whole series. It could've been a single book, but I'm fine with the way it was sectioned up. Quick read, I finished this whole series in a single night. Loved it, can't wait to read more like this. 💙

Thrilling, if a bit long

While the story and characters were wonderful, this could have been one or two episodes shorter. Bravo!

Unoriginal story.

The end of the story completely sucked. I'll never read anything else by this pair of authors again.
