➽ The Secrets of the Stormforest is the finale of the Strangeworlds books! It digs deeper into the lore behind the suitcases and the multiverse, especially as a big threat to the entire universe surfaces. The Seren - a cult-like group that steals magic - is determined to wipe out the multiverse in their hunger for power and unlimited magic. Jonathan, Flick and Avery are the only thing that stands between them and their devious plans, so they have to mobilize everyone they've got to fight on behalf of the multiverse. I liked how the story dug deeper into Flick's special power with schisms and how it impacts her personally. We also see her reconnecting with her grandfather, a former Seren who is determined to fight alongside them, as he knows first-hand what they are like. I really liked how everything was tied up in the end, structurally this is definitely the strongest book of the series, as it brings everything together!

The explosive finale of the Strangeworlds Travel Agency trilogy is a strong end to an amazing series. I couldn't help but notice that Lapinski somehow ties up every single stray thread that her book series covered, a piece of masterwork writing that I doubt another writer could put off. This is not even talking about the way Flick and the group handle discussions of grief, death, bigotry and self-sacrifice in a way that teens can easily approach. Cannot wait to see where Lapinski goes next! (possibly by magical briefcase...who knows?)
