I hated the ending so much.
This series was amazing!!
I have read Brandon Mull’s other series, Fablehaven/Dragonwatch and Five Kingdoms, and I really enjoyed them, so I picked up this one. My only regret is that I didn’t start it sooner.
This fantasy universe is so wonderfully created, it is definitely one of the most original and entertaining worlds I have ever read about.
I liked getting chapters in more POVs in this book, too. Instead of just Jason and Rachel, we got to hear about things from Tark and Nedwin.
I do have a complaint: Death. I won’t say who, but most of my favorite characters died. How rude? I was loving them!
Overall, absolutely would (and have) recommend the series!
4.75 stars

So I finally finished this book. And it was not bad. I do think the writing was weird. And at times annoying to read. But I liked to story, I liked the ending. I felt connected to the characters. And now when I grow up I want to be a wizard. I want to speak the magical language of Edomic. And be super cool and ✨magical✨
And yes I am aware that all of that sounds like I should rate it higher. But the reason I gave it 2 stars is that when I finished I didn't feel relieved or anything that bad. But I did feel like I just completed a hard project or a homework assignment. And I take that as a sign. I was invested. I did like the plot. I also liked the characters and the world. But I think it draged on.
Bottom line not a bad book. I get why people like it. But after I read the first book I thought that Mull could have made the word work and ended it. I don't think it would have been great if he did that, but maybe it would have been better

I love Brandon Mull, I read all of the Fablehaven series and I really didn't think it could get any better!!! Once again Mr. Mull has come up with an original story that keeps you reading late late into the night, I really didn't want the series to end!! Really looking forward to what comes next for this talented young writer!!!

I liked this series fine. It is not the best fantasy series for young readers ever, but it does a good job creating a fantasy that "could happen" to any 12 year old and yet takes place in another world.
