A touching conclusion

What a great finale to the epic saga of the five mythics and their mythies! Plus, an exploration of apologies and forgiveness that will be an excellent conversation starter with your kids!

This was such a lovely and exciting conclusion to the series. I loved Ember and her anger and pain, and watching her grow was a joy. Watching all the children come together and work as a team - yay!

This was a fantastic conclusion to a wonderful middle grade fantasy series! I loved the themes of friendship and platonic love. The themes of power and who holds it were very relevant to our world today. There were some epic fight scenes, and Mirelle Ortega’s illustrations in this book were some of my favorite. I can’t wait to read what Lauren Magaziner writes next!
