This is the fourth and final Diviners novel! What will I do with my life now that I'm not spending it reading these massive books? Overall, I enjoyed this series. It's a funny, spooky, escapist romp.

The Diviners is a young adult historical fantasy series set in the 1920s. It stars a (too large) posse of psychic characters who use their abilities to defeat ghosts that are attacking the US. In the fourth novel, the characters go on a spontaneous road trip from New York to California. Of course, chaos happens along the way.

The first book in the series is my favorite. The fourth is my least favorite. I think there are too many characters and plot lines. This book is bloated. The plot meanders and bounces around for hundreds of pages, and then the final battle with the bad guy is . . . meh. I didn't hate the ending! It's entertaining enough. I just think it's hard for an author to write a satisfying battle after that much buildup. My expectations were unrealistically massive. I wanted a big payoff after reading a very long road trip journey. I didn't get everything I wanted. That's probably my own fault.

Like many young adult books, this series is heavy handed with its morals, but the author does bring up some thought-provoking points. The series is about how all of us are making history right now. Are you making good history?

I know I just criticized this novel a whole bunch, but I still highly recommend the series. It's exactly what I needed. It's a fun paranormal adventure with memorable characters who don't take themselves too seriously.
