A perfect ending to a perfect series! Maz Evans ended the series with a hit... great way to finish such a magical adventure.
I really enjoyed this book (and the rest of the WLTGO set, to be honest), and I managed to learn a lot more about the Arthurian period of history. I love Maz's incorporation of different areas of history, and I found it the perfect combination of happiness and mystery.

A perfect finale to the 7 part series! While the book can seem like a drag with so many side quests and storylines, it wraps up quite well, in the end. In fact, having been invested in this series for over a week, it seemed like an extremely emotional, if not "optimal" (you'll get the reference if you read the books), moment.

My gosh. My gosh. I’ve laughed (a lot). I cried. I gasped. There’s so much goodness in this! There’s old faces, new faces, surprise appearances. Knights, jousting, daemons of death, tournaments, secrets, lies… and family. I just adored this so much.

A review for the overall series:
Whilst I loved exploring the mythology of different civilisations and seeing Max Evans’ fun take it just doesn’t compare to WLTGO. The emotional investment was not there, the stakes did not feel high despite it being apocalyptic. The stakes felt high in WLTGO because of Eliot’s Mum you felt the anxiety, the fear, the hope and that emotion carried through to cement the apocalyptic feeling because their where personal high stakes. However, here the emotional beats seemed to fall a bit flat perhaps too overtaken by the need to say something funny or pop cultural. There wasn’t enough room for the emotions to breath or grow and become something a bit scary or uncomfortable in their closeness to reality. Children’s books can have realistic to life scary elements WLTGO (and all of Jaqueline Wilson’s work) shows that.

There’s a lot more references to snogging than I expected to find
Pros:
The Knights of the Round Table are funny
Cons:
Main villain was super underwhelming
Deus Ex ending
