The Vengekeep Prophecies #3
The Grimjinx Rebellion
Fast-paced, funny, and full of surprises, The Grimjinx Rebellion brings Brian Farrey's epic and critically acclaimed Vengekeep Prophecies trilogy to an unforgettable close. Jaxter Grimjinx and his family haven't had much time for thieving. Through no fault of their own, they've been too busy saving the day. But the danger in the Five Provinces is only just beginning. The Palatinate Mages are almost ready to unveil their master plan, and legendary monsters will soon roam the land once more. Then Jaxter's sister, Aubrin, is kidnapped by the Mages. It seems she has a power greater than her family ever realized, and she may be the key to the impending battle for the Five Provinces. Jaxter will do anything to get his little sister back—even if it means pulling off the greatest heist of his life and starting a full-scale rebellion. A "rich fantasy" ( Publishers Weekly , starred review) with a family of thieves who "couldn't be more likable" ( Kirkus Reviews ), the Vengekeep Prophecies trilogy takes everything you thought you knew about prophecies and spins it into pure magic.

The final conclusion to the Vengekeep Prophecies series is loaded with action and returning characters. Read the first two books before tackling this one or you won't have enough background to fully enjoy it. Jaxter and his family of thieves are back saving the Five Provinces from being destroyed. Aubrin, Jaxter's sister, has been kidnapped by the Palatinate because she is a powerful seer. When Jaxter and his family make a plan to free her, they uncover a plot to unleash monsters on the Provinces and overthrow the ruling High Laird. As the people go from one greedy tyrant to another, Jaxter and his friends form a rebellion in hopes of saving the people.
This final book tries to achieve an epic conclusion that sometimes works and other times doesn't. While there is plenty of action and humor, Jaxter's growth as a character is a bit convoluted or I was just too dense to figure it out right away (it was a waning-brain-power Friday). In previous books Jaxter learns to defeat magic with science and rely on his brains to solve problems. He continues to do that in this book and I thought his arc was about choices and consequences. But this isn't really the case, because Jaxter doesn't struggle much with choices and consequence, he just plows forward like a bull in the ring. He's impulsive and loyal to his family. They come first and his decisions are fast when it comes to helping friends. The result is not an indecisive character with thinks through all his options. He never listens to Aubrin who just gives half-finished, vague prophecies that add to the tension. Of course, when monsters are trying to kill you it's hard to sit down and have a chat about a prophecy. Like the first book, I appreciate how the author turns the prophecy trope upside down. He is showing the fallacy of prophecies and their unreliableness; that prophecies represent choices and no one can predict another person's choice. And that is really Jaxter's arc. He can change the future by making his own choices.
Jaxter's family is somewhat of a twist on the Robin Hood legend. Robin Hood frees the oppressed, steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He is a symbol against tyranny and greed. The High Laird of the country's current government is a poor leader and an ensuing coup puts a new corrupt group in power that is just as greedy placing high taxes on the general population and making life miserable. The new group uses monsters to intimidate people and take their money. The royal family in the form of the Dowager represents the old government that once freed the Provinces from a tyrant ruler. While the people didn't exactly like the High Laird, they'd prefer him over the new rulers and their monster military. Like Robin Hood, this series captures a human desire for justice and equality. While Jaxter's family supports the Dowager and royal family, they have always tried to stay out of politics. They are heroes to the oppressed masses because they are neutral for the most part and use unofficial networks when getting things done. They rely on other thieves and have no ties to the corrupt government. Even the Dowager has no political role in the government. She has chosen to not be a part of it. Not until the end does the Dowager take a political stance and even then it is to form a new government elect, not become a ruler.
The female characters are strong and Jaxter's mother is a hoot. Aubrin manipulates Maloch into doing what she wants by crying. When he leaves, she gives Jaxter a devious look and says, "See this face! It is a weapon!" To which Lupa responds, "I fear your cuteness arsenal." Nanni, Jaxter's grandma, forces Uncle Garax to apologize with some fierce earlobe pulling. When she sets off explosives and has smoke wafting off her head along with a blackened face she asks, "That tinder jack is powerful stuff! Where can I get some more?" Later, she's being chased by the enemy with her skirt hiked up and not to worried because she has time too wave to Jaxter. Much of the violence is toned down with humor and is more silly than scary.
In the first book I could relate to Jaxter's clumsiness, especially when he accidentally burnt down a house. I have started a few too many kitchen fires in my days. In this book Jaxter has come along way. He starts a fire on purpose as a diversion and not by accident. Instead I found myself relating to the Dowager's miserable grasp of languages. I have said a few inappropriate things in Chinese living in Taiwan. The Dowager is always messing up the par-Goblin language adding terrific humor. When she tries to curse she says, "prudent soup." When she tries to name the new government she calls it "naive" instead of "wisdom." The author has continued his wonderful made-up words for swearing or monsters or other exclamations. The gags lope along throughout the entire plot. Great series.

This series, man. I love pretty much everything it chooses to be. Jaxter is hilarious and insanely likable, I adore his sister, the secondary characters are awesome, and his parents just get better and better with each new chapter. Not to mention his grandmother, oh my god.
Tense, fast-moving plot, lots of intrigue and action and humor, some incredibly touching moments, and an ending that made me so happy I can't even. Plus, a near-endless supply of tough, smart, funny ladies, which is always good to see in a middle-grade adventure novel.
I really can't wait to see what else Farrey comes up with in the future. This series has been a pure delight.

If you can't tell by my high ratings on all 3 books, I loved this trilogy. I'm stunned it's not WAY more popular. They should honestly be mentioned in the same breath as Percy Jackson or Artemis Fowl as far as MG/YA fantasy goes. Just good stuff.

An excellent conclusion to this excellent trilogy. It really hits the sweet spot from start to finish. Very clever and cleverly written. Gentle humor but thought provoking at the same time. Creative and delightful storytelling. Well crafted and fully developed characters (in every sense of the word). A compelling tale with sufficient twists and turns throughout, all moving forward with a steady pace. It is a quick read, but it never feels rushed or contrived. Can't say enough good things about this series or overstate how much we enjoyed it. Fantastic. Great for reading aloud. Fun for young and old alike.

Final book in the trilogy. Mages and seers. Relics and rebellions. Disguises and double-crosses. Prophecies and pursuit. Smart writing. A favorite series from start to finish.

A thrilling ending to the Grimmjinx trilogy. I loved this series and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy adventures with realistic characters.

not quite as excellent as the other two, but a great ending to a great series!!

The biggest problem I had with The Grimjinx Rebellion was how fast everything happened. There were too many jumpcuts where I felt lost because Farrey eschews development for getting things to a certain point and then explaining how it got there later. There were also too many reveals that were done too quickly, such as Jaxter reading the whisperoaks and then dumping a bunch of information on his comrades. Then Farrey made it blindingly obvious where the Vanguard was, and it made Jaxter look a bit stupid for figuring it out so slowly.
In addition, I thought a number of things didn’t really make much sense (some of it may be because of the quick pace and jumping around, but not all—like why in the world Edilman didn’t take the most powerful thing in the world with him when he could have) and I wish some things had been set up more throughout the trilogy. I also wish that the last two books in the trilogy didn’t make The Vengekeep Prophecies feel entirely unnecessary except as a way to introduce characters.
I did like quite a few things about the book: the capers and heists, for one thing, and the humor is pretty good, too. But The Grimjinx Rebellion seems rushed at best and sloppy at worst, full of lots of things that don’t make much sense because of poor development or pacing or what-have-you. Farrey has a good, fun trilogy, but it lacks some technique that could have made it shine.

The Grimjinx Rebellion is the third and final book in The Vengekeep Prophecies series written by Brian Farrey with illustrations by Brett Helquist. It centers on a loveable family of thieves – the Grimjinxes and their twelve-year-old son, Grimjinx, who is coming of age.
It has been two months and young Jaxter Grimjinx was left with mysteries on his hands. An old mentor told him to mind the words Volo ser voli – yesterday is today, but he is unsure of the meaning of the words.
The past's Great Uprisings might be relevant to current political unrest, but information about them is outlawed. Luckily, trickery and thieving – including theft of information are Grimjinx specialties, and Jaxter has help from friends and family.
The Grimjinx Rebellion is written rather well. The narrative is action packed and fast-paced from stealing his little sister back from government kidnappers through rousing a political rebellion to shifting that rebellion into monster-wrangling. Jaxter's first-person voice is steady and funny despite the many dangers of the narrative. The narration doesn't reveal details of Grimjinx plans before they're in motion, so the action is fresh to readers as it unfolds.
Overall, The Vengekeep Prophecies series is written rather well. Farrey has created a wonderful world filled with action and adventure. The narrative is centered on a family of thieves – especially Jaxter Grimjinx and the hijinx he and his family go through. Overall, the narrative is rather gentle despite the many dangers the protagonists go through.
All in all, The Grimjinx Rebellion is written rather well and a wonderful conclusion to an equally wonderful series.

This book was a great story and a brilliant end to an exciting trilogy, but it stopped short of being the perfection the two previous books were. Maybe it was because both the book and the writing felt rushed. Maybe it was because the conclusion was abrupt and not entirely satisfying. Or maybe it was because of Callie's final treatment. Whatever the case, this was a good book, but not quite a great book.
December 24, 2019
My favorite part was the ending, where they were planning to make a new and better government for the five provinces. My least favorite part was when Holm and Edilman died, and when the Scourge was destroying so many towns. I managed to guess that EAJ was Edilman's initials a long time before it was actually said to be true, although I didn't guess what the message was supposed to be.

I really enjoyed read this three book series with my daughter. This final installment does get very dark and I found the ending to be a bit confusing and disjointed, but overall the series as a whole is great and perfect for young fans of fantasy series like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson.
May 26, 2025
This is for the series as a whole. The first book stands alone well.
Great characters, amusing use of prophecy throughout the series. Sparks of humor. World feels both like young fantasy but also well lived.
Great for middle grade, or for adults who want lighter hearted fantasy.

Fabulous trilogy, all sorts of twists and yet all moving together as one story. Lovely.
Enjoy!

Jaxter Grimjinx and his family can see, as few others, the Palatinate Mages' schemes to wrest power from the High Laird. Unfortunately, even with the Dowager on their side, there isn't much a family of thieves can do against the plots of nobility and mages. But when Aubrin, Jaxter's little sister, turns out to be a seer and is taken by the Palatinate Mages, the whole family is determined to get her back. Whatever it takes.
This is, like both the previous books, fast-paced, funny, and an amazing ride. I appreciate the little note Jaxter starts out with, explaining that things are generally much more obvious in hindsight, when you aren't running for your life---it's not only true, but helps set up some of the things he takes a while to notice. As fun as it is to see him reason his way through things, he's got too much emotion mixing him up for a lot of this. Fear for his sister, anger at the mages, and a gnawing worry for his own life, which she's prophesied will soon end.
This being only a trilogy, when things go downhill they go down fast. Jaxter doesn't have much of a view into the palace, so most of what happens there is secondhand. Same with the towns. That does leave things feeling a bit disjointed, as the story rockets through some pretty intense periods with a few sentences, before settling in the more day-to-day Jaxter experiences.
I don't want to spoil too much. Read the first two books (won't take long, and they're lots of fun too!) and then this one for the best experience. I rate this book Recommended.

As always, there've been plenty of reviews before I've arrived here. So all I'll do is explain why I'm knocking 2 stars off from the 5 I give for "succeeds well in doing what it has apparently set out to do, no matter what that goal is."
When an author has his characters fight a war in which people actually die, as they do in this trilogy, his fantasy turns dark. He's treading at least on the edges of epic fantasy, and his dead need to be properly mourned by their survivors. No one does that here, not even perfunctorily. Moreover, at the end, his Jaxter is still a sunny 13yo.
Yes, Jaxter has spent a few paragraphs wrestling with guilt over one death, and come to terms with it. That part's done well. But he's not permanently affected by having been a boy general who's sent hundreds to their ends, who's heard of whole towns and cities annihilated during the conflict he's involved in. Such consequences can be handled in YA; The City's Son, for one, does it.
So I've declared that, on reflection, I've found a ruinous flaw here. Why knock off a mere 2 stars for it? Because Farrey keeps the reader skimming over the problem fast enough that we don't sink. (It helps that although everyone for whom Jaxter really cares is threatened, none of them are lost.)
Witness all those glowing 4- and 5-star reviews here!

I asked for more Aubrin and thus she becomes a key player in this final book! She is the Augur, an important and powerful seer which is why she did not speak for so long and keeps the journal.
I really liked how the element of prophecy was carefully crafted so as not to be inevitable. They are such fragile things and so many things can disrupt them or change them. Certain events must happen before they become probable. Trying to stop one can create a worse possible future or create that which you were trying to avoid. I am just so thankful that at least one book/series managed to rationally consider the ramifications and logical effects of prophecies.
The Grimjinx clan was a delight, I laughed several times reading this and I only wish we could have had more of their criminal hijinks. One of the best scenes was when they busted the Castellan/mayor of the city from the jail :)
Also, great to see a loving sibling relationship that was stable, but not overly melodramatic.
Oh, and I liked how Edilman was able to redeem himself!

Ugh. The end was a bit a lot anti-climatic.
(Granted, I felt the same way at the end of The Song of the Lioness Quartet, so maybe it's my sense of over-dramatic speaking)
Even so, the ending was just perfect - I could totally relate.
So.
After the disaster that was a slap to the face from the first book.
After the wonderful best-of-the-lot second book.
This was a good ending to the story. Mind you, good. NOT excellent. Which - auch, too bad.
The important thing you need to know: This WAS NOT the time wasted.
And the time not wasted is the time well spent.
Therefore I would recommend this series.

January 16, 2016Okay, so I have to DNF this book. The first two books were awesome and kept my attention pretty well, and so did The Grimjinx Rebellion...until I would set it down for a while. Once I had to set it down and attend to real life responsibilities, I didn't feel the need to pick it back up again. I got 40% in, but the story jumps ahead to a completely different place in the Five Provinces a little bit before this point, which threw me off. I think that had something to do with my lack of motivation to pick it up and read more. Also, I had to begin classes again, which also cut into my reading time. I think all these factors combined to make me feel like I wanted to read something else instead of finishing this book. It's not that it's a bad book by any means, so I might have to come back to this trilogy sometime, especially since I own all of the books.

I loved this series! From the first book to now, it was such a great, fun trilogy. I wish it were more popular and not so underappreciated! Specifically on this book, it was an excellent, strong conclusion to the series! Farrey did an excellent job at wrapping up the entire series, bringing all of the events from the first two books to a climactic ending here, and he really didn’t leave any question unanswered. He also did a great job at bringing closure to each of the characters, allowing their journeys to come to well-constructed ends. He really made it feel complete and like you were “closing the book” on this story (literally and figuratively), which I appreciate because I hate when authors create ambiguous endings.

When Jaxter's sister, Aubrin, is kidnapped, it leads to a plot to destroy magic.
There are whispers of: "Deathly Hallows," within the storyline, along with an element barrowed from: "Howel's Moving Castle."
Farrey asks the readers a very good question about Fate/Destiny-"Can a person change it, or is the ending pre-ordained?

This last book does a great job of combining the events of the series in a way that helps connect the dots from the first two books. So often you read a series where it feels as thought the last book was pulled out of thin air, not so The Grimjinx Rebellion. Great finish to a great series!

The weakest of the three in the series but still a very fun story with characters that I've grown fond of. Farrey has written a delightful fantasy series that is amusing, fast-paced and keeps the reader engaged.

An excellent conclusion to a very fun series. It was jam packed with action, but there was so much in the book that I got a bit antsy and wanted it to move along a bit quicker, but everything is wrapped up and ends so well. Such a great series!

Bangers! Absolutely amazing.
I admit, I was a little disappointed by the lack of Malock/Reena, but overall, I loved it. Even though by the end, I had tears running down my face like rain. An amazing last book, I love it.

It takes a thief to save a nation--said no one ever. But somehow it is up to Jaxter and his nefarious family to save the Five Provinces from oppression and annihilation. Luckily, they have more up their sleeves than lock picks. I really enjoy these strong characters and their weird world.
January 16, 2015
I can't say enough about this outstanding series. The final installment did not disappoint! Highly recommended to any Harry Potter fans out there!
