Vivi Conway #3
Vivi Conway and the Lost Hero
“Vivi– it’s me, Dara. We’re doing everything we can to find you…”
Vivi Conway has disappeared. With Vivi taken, and forgotten by everyone but her friends, Dara is struggling to hold it together. They’re trying everything they can, but nothing seems like enough. When Stevie, Chia and Merry reveal they have been working on a plan of their own, the friends must embark on a rescue mission that will take them far beyond the Unlands.
The time will finally come to face the villainous Arawn, and when it does the group must be ready to use their combined powers. With the help of new friends and old, they set out to find Vivi, defeat their ancient foe, and save the world (no pressure).

I just come back here to pop down the recommendations that I post on Twitter and Instagram where I'm @littlehux so you're better off finding me there as I really don't use Goodreads much at all any more.

This trilogy is so special and I’m going to miss this little gang terribly. Each of the characters in this series is giving main character energy in the best way and I adore them all.
Beautifully inclusive and action-packed, with gorgeous messages of friendship, acceptance and self worth, Vivi Conway is a truly stand out story.
Brimming with magic, adventure, emotion and heart, this was a perfectly epic conclusion to a perfectly epic tale.

This series has such a special place in my heart. I saved this final instalment for a rainy day, and it was just what I needed today. I'm both happy and sad to have finished the series, it was amazing seeing it all play out, but I will miss these characters so much.

Gosh, I’m so sad this series is over, but this finale is everything I wanted. I loved the dual narrative because you got to see the WHOLE story unfurling. These characters bring me such joy and the mythology just makes my heart sing. Part of me wants to just start from the beginning again and read all 3!

Sad to reach the end of the series, but thoroughly satisfying conclusion.
I still would have loved to spent more time in this world.
