A satisfying conclusion to the series. The final confrontation, especially, feels really complex, surprising, and fist-pump-worthy. Take that, Nobody! The action keeps moving as all of the characters struggle to come together and reunite the worlds. I didn't feel like there was as much deep character development, nor compelling structural wizardry as in previous books. Nonetheless, a fun, thoughtful read. What happens if we lose our imaginations? The result isn't pretty; a great recommendation to Read More Books.

I wish I had reread the previous 4 books before finishing up on this one. While I love complicated, clever plots this one was really confusing especially when you couldn't remember the previous book references all that well. But it was still enjoyable and the kids liked it.

I loved this book so much! It was a great ending to one of my favorite series. I'm so happy all of my favorites came back (especially Kiel). It was so much fun to read and I just loved every second.

I mentioned on a previous review that reading two series from the same author simultaneously was trippy because of the similarities, and that's really been hitting now that I've hit the conclusions of each series.

BUT the books were all delightful. Definitely looking forward to more books from this author. And maybe a sequel series?

I read the entire last third of this book in one sitting. Almost too fast and now I just want to go back!

An amazing end to such a cool series! Riley continues to dive deep into the meta world of these books and with such an awesome cast of characters too!
I've gotta say, this is definitely one of the top favorite series of middle grade for me now!

I'm really excited to take a look at his first fairytale series (I found Story Thieves first) and can't wait to see what is going to come next!
