"The Flash and his friends have defeated Anti-Matter Man, but the race to save the multiverse is far from over. As the sinister schemer behind Anti-Matter Man's release looms large at the end of Time itself, Barry seeks help from time experts, the Legends of Tomorrow. Meanwhile, Cisco has been taken by a mysterious figure-and Owlman's plans for Madame Xanadu come to a thrilling head. Picking right up where Supergirl's Sacrifice left off, this action-packed adventure brings the Crossover Crisis to a dramatic conclusion"--

About the author
Barry Lyga
74 books2,204 followersBarry Lyga is a recovering comic book geek. According to Kirkus, he's also a "YA rebel-author." Somehow, the two just don't seem to go together to him.
When he was a kid, everyone told him that comic books were garbage and would rot his brain, but he had the last laugh. Raised on a steady diet of comics, he worked in the comic book industry for ten years, but now writes full-time because, well, wouldn't you?
The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy & Goth Girl is his first novel. Unsoul'd is his latest. There are a whole bunch in between, featuring everything from the aftermath of child abuse to pre-teens with superpowers to serial killers. He clearly does not know how to stick to one subject.

I've said it from the first page of the first Flash novel, but it bears repeating - Barry Lyga loves these characters as a fan as much as he does an author.
From the start of this final novel, narrated by the Phantom Stranger, you know that this one's going to pull out all the stops. Reaching into every part of the DC Universe that the CW shows have drawn on and beyond, Legends Of Forever brings the Crisis to a conclusion that I even I was surprised to see play out, and it has an unbridled joy about it as it does so.
With crazy high-concept science mixed in with superheroics, sacrifices, and sadness, Legends Of Forever is a perfect capstone to this wild ride of a series.

I'd be lying if I said I understood half of this stuff here lmao but it was good! I liked the interactions between the characters and the way their abilities got to shine (and the Mick Rory appreciation, hell yeah!!!). At the same time I feel like there were too many storylines that haven't been wrapped up?

(Review is for the trilogy.)
There are so many things I could say, but I am going to go with this: The author evidently swallowed a dictionary and followed it with a thesaurus. I can't remember the last time I had to refer to the dictionary as much as I did for the Crossover Crisis because of unfamiliar words. I still enjoy learning new words.
Lots of Easter eggs. A wild ride through the DC multiverses . . . at least the CWTV versions. Recommended!
