A different kind of adventure series with. steampunk kind of feel. Definitely start at the beginning of the series though.

I tried to savor this one, knowing it was the end of the trilogy. Watching Sofia and Theo grow up has been an amazing adventure. This one was very well paced and fit so many pieces together neatly. Still a little confuse about some of the issues with Graves but will happily reread the series to catch what I missed.

3 1/2 stars. Overall satisfying conclusion to the story, but it suffers a bit from deus ex machina to end it.

This is the final book of the Mapmakers Trilogy. It continues just after that last book - the Golden Specific ends.
The book continues to split the main characters throughout this book.
Sophia Tims continues her quest to find out what happened to her parents. She her quest is successful by the end of the book but throughout the book, she meets new people and discovers herself as well as learnt more about the different ages.
Sophia's uncle Shadrack Elli is still in Boston where he tries to covertly thwart the Prime Minister, Gordon Broadgirdl and his War. Shadrack finds new allies and discovers that the war was planned months ahead by Gordon Broadgirdl. With this information, the Prime Minister is stopped, leading to the end of the war.
Theo Thackary is conscripted into the army to fight in the war. He deserts and meets up with Sophia later in the book. The both of them, with several allies, try and stop the war in the field.
All in all, this is a satisfying conclusion tot he series. I did find that some scenes were glossed over for narrative purposes and felt a bit disjointed.

Wow, what a way to end a trilogy. Amazing! So powerful, the way the themes wove together, a very satisfying conclusion to a brilliantly unique series. I would happily spend many more books in this imaginative IP. I am almost as happy to sit and brood over the complex implications of what has been already written.

Overall, not a bad ending to a trilogy. But I definitely enjoyed the second book the best out of the series.
