I cannot explain the impact this book had on me, you just have to read it
I read this to finish off the series. The plot was way too easy, I did not feel at all challenged and things just seemed to magically work out for the characters despite odds. Mull would have done better avoiding extraneous descriptions of nature or characters' outward appearances and instead explain the thoughts or causes of protganaists' constant victories.
what a wonderful climax to this series!! so so entertaining and perfectly ended.
Seeing this AMAZING fantasy series come to an end was… *chef’s kiss* I simply loved seeing everything come together in this book! Seeing all of the various pieces of the puzzle come together in the end to finally defeat Maldor was beautiful.
I feel that this book is easiest to review character by character, so… I’m gonna do that!
Character one: Jason! His storyline of finding Darian the Seer was my favorite. It was so much more entertaining than Rachel’s! I was very invested in all the different clues he had to the truth of Darian and seeing whether he’d find the seer or not, and if he did, what “prophecy” would be revealed.

I'm giving the series 5 stars because it was such an enjoyable read and adding it to a shelf for my son to read when he is old enough. The first book had me filled with wonder--what a fun imagination Mull has! This book had more violence than the previous two (or maybe more realistic violence) and a couple times the books had me thinking are these really 13 year olds? But overall it was a great finish to a great series.
Still having a hard time placing this one. The worst chapter in this book had to be "The Narrow Way." Thankfully the chapter after it redeemed the book, cuz it was past my bedtime and I couldn't read further. "The Last Wizard" was a brilliant chapter, probably my favorite! Rachel was way too whiny for me for two chapters, those chapters probably could have just disappeared for all I cared. I found the Nedwin chapters pretty interesting. Can't wait for my husband to get to those, they were the most surprising chapters in the book. But yeah, was about to beat Brandon Mull up over "The Narrow Way." At least it wasn't a whole infuriating book, like Harry Potter number 5 was a whole book of irritating. Well, I guess Beyonders book one was somewhat infuriating itself, but I was more mad at the TNW chapter than I was at book one. So if you think everything is going to happen fast after the island chapter, nope! you must listen to Rachel whine and wait for Jason to push through some trials and fatalities. I just need to ramble about this book here and complain a little, because my husband isn't finished with this book yet. I just need someone to talk to about it! Anyone else out there think the Nedwin chapters were interesting? I know, I disregarded all my respect for grammar and sentence style in this review. Forgive me, college student on spring break here.

After reading the first 2 books I couldn't wait to finish off the series. I enjoyed it like the previous books, but too many of the good guys die in accomplishing the quest. I did think it ended a little abruptly with not much detail about what happens to the characters after they defeat Maldor. This book felt the most like the Lord of the Rings - two major storylines happening independently of each other with each chapter switching back and fort. An unlikely hero, the seeming invincibility of the bad guy, the hopelessness of the quest, the small little thing on which the whole story turns are very similar in concept to the Lord of the Rings story.
We just finished the Beyonders series as a family read aloud. It was awesome to watch my wife cringe through the wormy zombies and cry at the departure of some of the wonderful characters. There were some excellent surprises (Nedwin...) that I didn't see coming. Not quite a masterpiece of fantasy, but a fantastic and fun series for the whole family.
