I was actually going to rate this book 4 stars. The middle was a little slow and the scapegrace parts, in my opinion, were unnecessary. But just like the end of all his books the last 50-75 pages were so amazingly beautiful, I had to give it 5 stars. The epilogue was just stunning, I knew that Valkyrie's reflection was becoming messed up. I just didn't know how Landy was going to play everything out. And how "the sparrow flies south in the winter" that was hilarious. Missing Fletcher a little but not much, and the alternate dimension thing was really interesting. I wish we could go back there later, but I don't think we every will. Ugh such a great book LOVED IT!
EDIT June 2020: I'm rereading this whole series and I'm enjoying it just as much as I did five years ago when I first read it. I do still agree with my past self that the scapegrace parts are boring and I wish the character died when he was a zombie but the alternate dimension stuff was fantastic. I love that Valkyrie is kinda not a good person. She's selfish and makes bad decisions because it and that's what makes her a realistic well written character in a totally fantasy setting.

I just feel the need to let you guys all know that I love this series and am ever thankful that I picked it up this year.
Like every other book in this series this was perfect in every way. The ending shot me in the heart and I swear, honest to god I was smiling the whole time.

Definitely my fave in the series so far! The plot constantly surprised me, and there's plenty left to be excited for in future installments. Can't wait.
Yessss this book was the awesome one with the dimension travelling! That part was awesome. Also, Ravel is awesome and knowing what I know this time around made him even better.
Magic is a disease. A too optimistic sorcerer wants to bestow magical powers to ordinary people. This sounds good, right? Yes? You're wrong! It's not. Well, you have to read this book to find out.
Derek Landy's writing is very unpredictable. You cannot trust even the protagonist of this series. And the antagonists of this book are hardcore bad and powerful. And I am in a state of shock because of the epilogue.
Can't wait for the next book and while I am writing this, I am in the 40th page of the next book, Last Stand of Dead Men. This is what I call commitment.
