A nice ending to this trilogy. Though I still liked this story, I'm glad this is the final book. It felt like I was ready to say goodbye.

Cute middle grade series. 3.5 stars, rounded down for making blue and orange the color scheme for the bad world

The conclusion to the Greystone mysteries was just okay. I didn’t like the direction the plot took in this final book and really wanted resolution with the main characters of the story, instead many new characters were introduced and there wasn’t a sense of resolution with the characters we came to know and love.
