A mostly mediocre end to a series. Unfortunately, after the main line books, this series kinda lost it's footing, and the prose never really recovered. There's a tendency to continuously remind readers what happened in past books, in ways that don't sound like how people actually talk. The stakes of this book are almost laughably high, especially because it's largely a reprieve of the 4th book (including a casual reference of 'oh, those things that gave you so much trouble? we keep them as pets') Dunno, maybe I'm just older now, but I felt like the first couple books in this series were genuinely solid, and this is mediocre at best.

Another Marla Mason book is always fun, but I wonder if maybe the author isn't sure what direction to take the series. The whole Witch Queen of Felport Arc was lot of fun, I hope we get another major arc as well before the series comes to a close.
