A review by oashackelford
The Dire King by William Ritter
5.0
Abigail Rook and Jackaby are in a race to take down the dire king, but they still don't know who he is. What they do know is that he has a machine that can take out the veil and he plans on ruling the Earth and the Anwyn as the king of Chaos. They continue investigating what they do know as well as beginning to make an army to help them if they can't get to the dire king before the war breaks out.
I really loved this final entry in this series. A small part of me does wish that the author had gone with a monster of the week type format, but I will say that the concluding book including elements and characters from all the other books was pretty satisfying. I thought that the ending was also very satisfying. It gave all the characters what they needed and wrapped up a lot of loose ends for the reader without telling you everything that happens, which allows you as the reader to form some of your own conclusions as well.
