My daughter thinks this series is the best after Percy Jackson.

LOVED this book, got so attached to the characters... first you kill DZ (DieZombie97) AND THEN YOU KILL KAT!!! WHYYYYYY??!!!! And also, why didn't Stan let him friends back on after he got operator powers? In one of the books, (book 1) you mentioned operators could let people back on after they died... WHYYYYY?

In life it is often true that all good things must come to an end, and that is certainly true of fantasy trilogies like this one. Like the preceding novels in this series, the author shows a good job at mastering genre and presenting compelling characters that one identifies with. Like many authors in the genre, the author racks up a high body count both of characters that are given a great deal of attention and made compelling parts of the plot as well as a wide variety of characters about whom little is known. Like the best fantasy novels, this one too speaks of what is required of those who would wield godlike powers and the loneliness that comes from possessing great power while simultaneously desiring to be just in a world of pain and loss. The novel, in short, is not only an accessible and enjoyable piece of fan fiction but also has a great deal of surprising emotional depth, coming from someone who has both read and felt deeply and someone who has wrestled with serious issues and created a world in which those issues can be dealt with in a playful and yet also serious and respectful manner.
The plot of this particular book takes place over thirty one chapters and an epilogue in four parts that are deserved of the overused term epic. The first part of the book shows the hitherto successful leaders of the Noctem Alliance assigning various missions, showing a group of elite assassins hunting after the fleeing President Stan as well as a mysterious black hooded figure dealing with an unfriendly voice in the sky while trying to restore balance to the planet. After this there are a few chapters in the second part of book that deal with the myth of Herobrine, the return of President Stan, and the struggle against destructive monsters that have been created and summoned against the beleaguered forces of Element City. The third part of the book looks at the attempts of various groups of republican leaders to free some of the zombie NPC villagers as well as various allied players that have been imprisoned, as well as hide out underground and retake Adorian Village and destroy the capital of Nocturia and battle for Element City. The fourth and final part of the book brings the story to a bittersweet conclusion with an unsuccessful first fight against Lord Tenebris, who happens to be the resurrected operator King Kevin, the successful defeat of that king by Stan as a new operator thanks to the work of Sally, and a new period where Stan promises to be fair and allows people to choose between two different mentalities regarding how players should be treated that will live in peace on a server shattered by extreme PvP combat.
It is difficult to point out exactly how this book succeeds best. The author shows a great deal of attention not only to major characters but also to minor ones and the need to provide emotional payoffs to a variety of character arcs. He also shows a great deal of attention to the sense of loss that results from games having behavior that is particularly close to the real world. In Stan's apotheosis, we see not only his gaining and using of operator powers to great effect, but we also see the repercussions of having that power, including the great loneliness that comes from having one's friends die and from having a great deal of power but no one who one feels really close to and no one who can share that burden of trying to provide justice to a group of squabbling and divisive people. The author's working out of what it means to be the ruler of a planet can help readers struggle with their own views of divine providence and justice, and that sort of issue is one that is always very enjoyable to find in what might be viewed as lighthearted and silly literature. Also poignant is the fate of the black hood as he confronts his legacy and engages in self-sacrifice in order to try to undo some of the wrong of his own past.

EL MENSAJE DE HEROBRINE es, junto a la trilogía en sí, una novela que derrocha creatividad, acción y aventuras en grandes cantidades. Recomendada tanto a lectores conocedores del juego como a los que no, apto para cualquier edad.

My 9-year old son could not put this book down and read all 771 pages in 24 hours. He is impatiently awaiting another book in this series! Only bummer, no AR points are available yet because it is so new.

Many grew up with Harry Potter, many grew up with Percy Jackson, many grew up with Artemis fowl, real distinguishes gentleman grew up with Elementia.
This book, this 800 paged book I read in fucking 2 weeks in year 4, was peak fiction. Unironically the twists and turns in this are wild, the action is thrilling and the lore is so deep, like HOW!?
There are so many tragic deaths in this book that are so shell shocking.
Only complaint is how the continuity dosent work well like are they controlled by people or are these just characters in a book, either way this is my Quintin Tarantino in book form, fucking peak fiction

I must say, the battle has lasted long, throughout the majority of two books. Seeing the ending of such a war was slightly disappointing, not being able to see the rise of nations once again. Being able to read and visualize the aftermath. But still, an amazing book and you should definitely read it.

A great way to finish an epic series. This book was the best in the series and very emotional at certain parts of the book. Epic battles occurred and the unmasking of who the leader of the revolutionary kingdom. It was surprising and entertaining. If you read book 1 and 2 you must finish it off with 3, since it’s the final book, and cause it’s very addicting. Easy 5 stars!

this book was really good ending the Elementia chronicles for a couple of reasons one i liked how this book drove the characters backstory further i also like all of the action and story behind every scene.
to start off with their backstory what i really liked was throughout the story each character had a moment where they would talk about what happened to them and that was helpful to the story because when they overcame what happened to them the helped save Elemetia.
The ways the action and story drove the story further was that whenever they would get deep into their scene something would happen that would make me jump or make me feel like i was experiencing that

4⭐️ I rly loved the beginning and the end BUT there was something i need to warn about you guys. First G dies in the book. In Adorias Village war, G saves all the soldiers and others by throwing himself to the lava, with Creeperkhan. Second Kat dies too in the book. In the Element Citys fight, Cassandrix, Leonidas, Stan and Kat goes to Lord Tenebrises castle. Everybody are on silence and waiting for the bad to happen. Kat moves and tries to kill Lord Tenebris. Lord Tenebris snaps his fingers and Kat dies. So there and yeah I forgot. If you think that Lord Tenebris is Herobrine you're wrong. The Blackhood is the real Herobrine of the story.

There is no reason this book should be good. After two previous basic meandering novels, this is a breath of fresh air after being trapped under water. This book legitimately gripped me as I was reading it. It was silly, it was stupid at times, the world is insane. But if you look past the fact it is a Minecraft book, you get an actually good story, full of intrigue and adventure.

Asher (9yo) read this ~750 page book in about 4 or 5 days! "I like the adventure and the Minecraft builds they all had. Also some of the names of the characters like Darth Tater, Darth Vader Helmet, and Body Resembles a Potato were pretty funny. I was not expecting who Lord Tenebris actually was!"
February 10, 2017
This is my favirote book of 2016. I hope he makes a part 4 or a different book with the same charictars I rate this 10/10
