A thrilling and fast paced conclusion to what is an excellent middle grade trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed all three and will continue to recommend these books widely.

“He said from now on, he’s going to stick to making tea. It brings people together!”

No one knows how scared i am about the possible things might happen to the twins because i grow to love them since the second book.

Like everyone said, this is a perfect ending to close this series. It gave you the answer to everything that keeps you wondering since the first book. When i finished the first book the only thing on my thought is: "Why do the Archers the one who take control of everything?" despite some answers on the first book. The second book kind of answered the question. But then i'm still not amused. I know something big is actually behind all the things that happened. "Why Tom? Why not Boy?" this is the question that keeps me up all night (jk) (but i kind of keep thinking about this). Then the third book finally gave me the answer and i'm very amused by how things end.

I was kind of screaming when... when Boy is panicking, crying, kind of regretting things when Tom drank the poison. I was like, "Oh no... No... They just finally forgive each other, accepting eo as brothers.... Please don't separate them like this." And the last chapter is.... so heartwarming

A perfect ending for a perfect series! I love this world! Its magical and science and weird and the characters sneak under my skin. I shed a tear at the end.

The two last books in this series are quite dark and scary, I would be a bit careful with what child I would rekommendera this book for.

The ending was well done.
