Fabelhaven has been a brilliant series - I knew that before I started on this last book. Despite this, the first couple of hundred pages supplied surprises and twists I had not expected. Kendra, Seth, their grandparents Sorensen are trying to gather the artifacts to prevent the Society of the Evening Star from opening the demon prison Zzyxx. They get help from Patton Burgess, whom they meet travelling back in time with the Chronometer, and who has also left messages here and there. Despite this, Seth still gets kidnapped by the Sphinx and ends up in a dungeon. When someone leaves him two artifacts that facilitate his escape, he fulfills a promise that will have dire consequences. The end of the world is coming closer.

This book is better than the four previous ones, the surprises come thick and fast. It's a rollercoaster ride and the action never lets up. Highly entertaining and unpredictable. Well, unpredictable to a point at any rate. We find out who the Fairy Queen really is, meet a unicorn without a horn and the mystery surrounding the Sphinx's advanced age but youthful appearance is also resolved - and much more. I'm sorry this was the last installment, I would gladly have had more.
