Ooof...
Somehow, I thought that the next four of five books would also be about the Wyrm but then the Wyrm took over from Conor and Abeke lost Uraza (wich I saw comming because our heroes aren't traumatised enough...) and then Uraza rips Shane to pieces in front of Abeke's eyes, and then there was the Wyrm and they attacked the red cloaks but then it was over. That was it. I had expected more.
I enjoyed it nonetheless.
It was a fast-paced book, again with more death and destruction than what I'm expecting for a children's book.
I'm still really glad I started this series.

A brilliant ending to the extended series . . . but why add 4 more books though to this "second series" why not another/a third one (yeah because of the fans of the books why this is getting the treatment of The 39 Clues, extend until the fans grew tired of it + short stories/spin-offs).

J'ai adoré ce tome! Il se place de nombreux évènements surprenants qui ont même réussi à me faire pleurer.
Par contre, on dirait réellement qu'il marque la fin de la série. Je trouve que ça aurait une bonne conclusion bien ficelée. Bien hâte de voir à quoi va ressembler la suite.

I honestly really liked the book, though it was short. I thought it was a great way to end off the series. Though I didn't like how the reformed Shane had to be killed by Uraza. I would have preferred if he lived. Otherwise I liked the sudden change of Zerif and how the Wurm was defeated and everyone got their spirit animals back.

This was a great book. It seems to me that there is not any story left to tell in this series, yet the series continues on. I guess I will have to wait and see what happens now.
There's a lot of "of courses" in this one. Of course Mulop can happen to hide them from Zerif and communicate with all other great beasts. Of course Conor escapes. Of course each and every one of the glowstones were irrepairably broken. Of course Xanthe happens to get there right as they breach the city and OF COURSE she brings a whole army that evens the odds, of course Zerif thinks the Wyrm is under his control even though this same situation literally just happend with Shane and Gerathon. It's very predictable and everything conviently works out with flawless timing.
On pg. 94, "She recovered and quickly placed Jhi into passive state" on pg. 96, "Meilin fell to one side, trying her best to protect Jhi from falling rubble." On pg. 98, "Meilin brought Jhi into passive state." No where does it mention her being brought back after she was put away on pg. 94. She just brought Jhi out so rubble could fall on her then immediately put her back? Lol.
Takoda summoned Kovo, the Wyrm's biggest threat. Naturally, you'd think that means Takoda would have a target on his back. Apparently not to everyone else though because no one noticed the Wyrm snagged him. The Wyrm wants Takoda? Wow, I never saw that coming.
On pg. 144, "Rumfass the Ram."
Zerif took Uraza and Abeke didn't think it would be used against her at some point? She's the one preaching about how it's war and things must be done, then refuses to shoot Zerif?
It's kind of annoying that Kirat is suddenly a completely different person now that Rollan had a pep talk with him. Suddenly Cabaro sees him as worthy based on one speech he gave to a bunch of kids. He wasn't changed through war, conflict, or loss, it was literally just Rollan handing him an amulet. You don't suddenly change your entire personality the way he has without more than just that. I get the necklace is important to him, but after that he is suddenly the best leader, the best at plans, and the most mature of them? I wish there had been more of a growth arc for him than that and more of a bonding arc with Cabaro. He has been calling him stupid, lazy, and admitted he would give him to Zerif conscious-free, but all of that washes away and they are best friends all of a sudden because the speech was good?
On pg. 155, Shane saves Abeke from Uraza. She thinks if he knew how she felt about him he would still be alive. You think if he knew you loved him he wouldn't have saved you? Pretty sure that's not how it would go.
I don't understand why they are calling it The Thing now. It's still just the Wyrm that took Zerif over. It didn't magically become something other than itself.
I adored the ending. I don't want to spoil anything, but I was nearly in tears. I'm really happy with how the story progressed to this point. The story was good, but unfortunately it doesn't make up for this book's bad editing and poor character development.
