This is hands down my favorite book in the Elyon series. I was worried the absence of some usual characters would ruin it for me, but I love the new characters just as much. Absolutely loved this book.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the ending, but I think I would of enjoyed this book more if I read it when I was younger. But I still enjoyed the adventure!

This is the fourth book in the series and I quite enjoyed it. It didn't matter that I didn't remember a lot from the first 3 books because this was a new adventure.

Personally, I believe it was the worst of all the series...seemed to go overboard on the whole series and it wasn't needed.

I was a little weary before starting this book since it isn't part of the original series and is an add-on book, but it was so, so good! It only expanded further the already expansive and rich world created by Patrick Carman.
Alexa and her crew travel across the Lonely Sea to a mysterious and hidden land called the Five Stone Pillars, which is a unique world within itself. It turns out Abaddon got loose and followed them there, and now Alexa has to save the Five Stone Pillars before he completely destroys them.
There are many new and loveable characters introduced in this installment, and I wish I had more books with them. It would be wonderful to see this world and set of characters continue in more follow-up books. Just like Alexa says, Thomas Warvold was the land adventurer, Roland Warvold was the sea adventurer, and she is meant to be sky adventurer. We also read at the end thatElyon tells Alexa, "I have many things that need doing, and so it will be awhile for you [before you return to the Tenth City]." There is a lot of room for expansion in this world, and I would love to read about Alexa's other adventures as she explores other corners of this world.
Although this book was probably my favourite in the series, there are a few inconsistencies I was confused about unless I am mistaken and heard wrong while listening:
Matilda said she had been to the fourth pillar when she was very young, but later Alistair said he is the only person to have come to the fourth pillar.
Alexa said she could hear the voice of Abaddon only when she looked at him but then she starts hearing his voice without looking at him.
By the way, I highly recommend reading book 0.5, [b:Into the Mist|459900|Into the Mist (The Land of Elyon, 0.5)|Patrick Carman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328866083s/459900.jpg|3028941], before this book. The series is very fluid when read that way, as book 0.5 ends at the exact point that Stargazer begins.

Liked this one better than the last LE Book I read... Didn't realize that this would actually make more sense logically (and the reader would have a TON more context) if you read the "Into The Mist" LE Book #4 fist. Oops. I still thought the storyline was more engaging than the LE Book #3 so that was a nice surprise, and there was even beginnings of romance. So yay. Anyways, I thought it was decent, better than I expected, but wouldn't read it again.
