About the author
Marc Remus
35 books26 followersMarc Remus is an award-winning German painter and author. His books have received many literary awards and have been translated into Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish, and Norwegian.
Remus was educated in the United States, graduated with a BA in art and illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, and lived in Japan and Central America for some years. He has travelled to more than sixty countries and visited over a thousand cities, of which he has painted over two hundred. His work has been featured on TV and in many magazines and newspapers in Germany, USA, and Mexico.
During his art studies in California in the 1990s, Remus took his first children’s book illustration class. His college teacher inspired him to start writing and not just illustrating. The result was a picture book called Painting Brian, which led to his first book and eventually to the Magora series. In the early 2000s, Remus studied for four years at the Institute of Children’s Literature. In 2016 the Magora book, which he had initially written more than twenty years before, was finally published. During the five years that followed, eight more books were published, and Remus received many literary awards for his achievements.
Having a sweet tooth since childhood, Remus embarked on a new journey in 2019. Surrounded by many overweight friends and family members, Remus came up with an idea to teach children a healthy way of eating without preaching. This idea resulted in The Chocolate Clouds.
Today, Marc Remus continues to work on new children’s books while spending much of his time on a Greek island, studying Greek and Mandarin.

I am thrilled to read how this series ends. It has lots of surprises and makes me want to read the series again. I would have never expected this series to turn out the way it did. The first book did not imply the many twists and turns along the way, and I certainly did not expect that I would end up feeling sad that the series is over and there won't be any more trips to Magora.

I have been waiting for this last book in the series to come out. And I am thrilled that it is now available after a long wait. Holly goes to the land of Sandaria to follow the remaining Unfinished. It is action-packed.
The entire series comes together now. I was surprised how many layers the series has, something I would have never expected when reading the first and second book. Now that I read the last I will have to read the first ones again. I will read things now in a complete different light. It is just sad that the series is over now.

Great fantasy series for the kids and adults too!
This is the last book in the series. I have been reading this to my kids the past year. The whole series is great and interesting. My 2 year old daughter, including her older brother, asked for me to read this to them at bedtime every night. Now, I will have to find something similar to this series.

This is an entertaining series with a much deeper plot than I had initially thought. At first it felt like a light-hearted children's series but it became darker with each book. It has a great ending and all loose ends come together in the final pages.
