De laatste missie gaat beginnen en wat voor een missie! Dit is het laatste (los te lezen) deel van De Zeven Rozen serie en dat mag je natuurlijk niet missen! De Thea Sisters worden uitgedaagd om acht magische bollen te vinden en zo de Spiegel van Chaos te verslaan. Alle feeënrijken zijn in gevaar en de Thea Sisters moeten alles uit de kast halen om deze race tegen de klok te winnen!
This book is really good.I liked it as much a the Treasure Seekers book. The Treasure Seekers (Thea Stilton and the Treasure Seekers #1) by Thea Stilton
What I liked about it (or whats in it): Ok. So I already said I liked it as well as the Treasure Seekers.What I like about is is that they put details that are really useful,the characters, and how they explained it. It also had a little romance I guess and I am not a fan of it. But I was still fine.It was good still.
What is the book about: It is about a mirror that is bad and it was put in the Endless Void. There are 8 black pearls that need to be replaced by 8 harmonies. In each world there is 1 harmony. Each harmony has a story of how it was made.
Arvin: He was given a task to put the mirror in the Endless Void. Although Fuchsia wanted to see the mirror. So Arvin brought the mirror to her. Since he showed her the mirror he was banished from the place. He found the mirror and took it tho a dark tower and eventually became evil and he trapped Will.
As usual the Thea sisters saved Will and made Arvin nice again.

read to preview before sending it to my cousin’s kids - and i can’t do it - everyone is white (the mice may be intended to be different shades but all the cis-het fairies and royals are paper white), and no one has any particular strengths or values except ‘positivity’ and a general niceness… then the happy ending is a marriage that happens between a guy who tried to destroy the world (under a spell, caused by his girl asking to see the thing he was instructed not to show anyone- biblically boring), and was saved by his girl’s tears/sadness. no thanks. also. breathing underwater wasn’t explained and i feel like my 8 year old self would’ve been super annoyed by that. sigh. it was amusing the guy got saved by the girls i suppose, but then he saved everyone also. meh. sure.
- again more books deserve to have fun fonts and different colored text and whimsical illustrations - cute ofc but it got repetitive and felt rushed bc of the nature of their mission - why are they pushing Paulina/Will ?!!! I could’ve sworn he was middle-aged in secret of the fairies at least… they’ve youngified him here but still - didn’t expect to rediscover this series ty libby

Het laatste deel in de serie, en ik heb zeker genoten. Wat hilarisch is gegeven dat ik boek een nou niet veel vond en elk boek verder wel heb geprobeerd... maar echt niet leuk vond. Maar dit boek vond ik echt leuk. Goed, het was vrij simpel vaak, maar toch volgende ik de meiden met veel plezier op hun laatste missie. Ja, de laatste en de grootste. Alle rijken zijn nu in gevaar en de meiden moeten in een tijd dingen vinden. Raadsels oplossen. En dan een slechterik verslaan. Er zijn verhalen per harmonie en ik vond dat een leuke toevoeging aan het verhaal. Er is ook nog een vleugje romantiek (en ik hoop ook zeker dat Paulina en Will nog eens echt een relatie beginnen). De illustraties waren leuk en kleurrijk. Al vond ik het wel mooi de de illustraties soms niet helemaal klopten. Zo zien we de meiden (en nog drie anderen) op een draak zitten. 4 zitten op zijn nek/bij het hoofd en 4 bij de rug. Alleen een pagina of 3 later zit iedereen op de nek die ook meteen een paar meter langer is. MMMMM.
Well... I'm waaay too old for this, I should've stopped reading Thea Stilton years ago... Buuuuuuut, I read it anyways. This book puts together every single world that the Thea Sisters have ever been to, visit their old friends, and grab a Harmony in order to save the world from the Curse of the Mirror. It's cute, yes, but I was totally lost most of the time because they never reintroduce the world, or the characters that they previously introduced. I read the first Special Edition soo many years ago, I don't remember the difference between the Land of Erin and the Land of Flowers. I don't! I really wish they took the time to remind us about the worlds and why we care about them. Other than that, this book was great, just don't expect a lot of Will/Paulina scenes. Cause there aren't many.
late review cus college but i read this whole series straight bc i always wanted to as a kid and im glad the last book revisited all the lands!!!! thought the conflict that caused the whole dilemma this book was kinda weak but it felt like a really nice send off for the most part. i have a lot of thoughts on the whole series so :
!! spoilers !!
- journey to atlantis was my fav of this series. it was a great intro to the whole imagination agency thing and then the seven roses unit. it would have been nice if they actually went to atlantis in this book, would’ve preferred that over the color land - i preferred the books earlier in the series that had fantasy lands connected to a real country and were inhabited by that country’s fable and fantasy characters. i thought it was a lot more interesting and educational. that being said, having the elephant in nepal as the introduction to the cloud castle was a perfect way to bridge the country fable inspired lands to lands that were original to the book and based on certain elements of nature. also the big bad in the secret of the snow being related to a romantic relationship like the rest of the books in the series - the remaining books in the series were pretty similar to one another. they had the same elements that were just mixed and matched. there was a royal court, some catastrophe that had to do with a couple (bonus points if they get engaged), the mouselets splitting up, them winning the fantasy land inhabitants over with the power of a pure heart and true friendship (or solving their riddles) and it all ended in a ball with gorgeous outfits. sometimes there was an all-knowing crystal ball and quests to actually be able to use it, fantasy land characters that got turned into beasts (usually 1/2 of the couple), or the mouselets falling under spells or getting imprisoned. plus more that i forgot. that being said, i did not care. i loved it. THIS is literally what i mean when i say i like fantasy. after getting into adult fiction i was disappointed that most fantasy novels are not like this, they are much darker moodier as opposed to fun and whimsical. like yes i want to read about characters having to tame a humongous flying blue salamander with a magical invisible flute!!!!
other little things that irritated me or i wish were different: - all that build up with will and paulina and for what. a dance at the end when they already did that a few books prior??? - wish that we saw the girl who got lost in the land of erin again bc will literally said she would work with the thea sisters in future missions - also wouldve liked to see that knowledge machine thingy in the secret of the snow again that was cool - more thea!!! one of my fav parts about the special editions growing up was that thea was actually in the books. wish that continued in the later books in this series - there were some continuity errors that i picked up but nothing that would ruin it for the avg reader - diversity in characters in both species and appearance in the nature land books. felt like most of the characters were fairies which got a bit boring after a while and there was no variation from the pasty white skin tone whatsoever - sometimes the way things were worded and concepts were a bit confusing too, like the star nests or whatever in the dance of the star fairies. there were others throughout the series though i don't remember
long story short i love this series even though it may not the best quality. it satisfied my fantasy craving for the year although i do kind of want to read them all again they were so fun!!
The main characters are the Thea sisters (the Thea sisters are five mice that go on complicated adventures in different fantasy worlds). Arvin has found a spine-tingling mirror. Arvin falls under the mirror's unexpected curse. The mirror has the terrifying power to turn all the dazzling fantasy kingdoms into complete dry deserts. There was only one way to stop the mirror from releasing the power, there was only one way to stop the spine-tingling mirror, is to get all eight harmonies (they are very delicate and precious stones) and replace them with the gloomy, black pearls which are around the spine-tingling mirror. Follow the Thea Sisters on this action-packed journey and read the fabulous book to find out what happens next! I love the book very much because I read the author often because she writes very exciting books. I highly recommend this book to 6-10 year old's and not for teenagers or adults because it is a comic, and it doesn't appeal to them. Reviewer: Gloria Young aged 8
Two stars because there was no objectionable content and the illustrations are good. But the characters are zero dimensional - i.e. none of them have any personality whatsoever: 100% of the story is the plot being narrated. And the first 75% of the book is extremely repetitive... go to magic land, find fancy fairy, collect fancy orb, find passage to next land... repeated maybe 7 times? And the reasons for the plot details are so random and not explained. WHY do the fancy orbs need to be applied to the evil mirror to break the unexplained spell? Where did the mirror come from in the first place and why does it have a spell on it? Why did the fairy looking at it start all this business in the first place? The answers to these and many other questions the random plot brings up are apparently "just because." 300 pages of boring. I could not WAIT to read something else at bedtime.
It is an amazing book! It has adventure, excitement, and fun. I loved it and I think that many others will too! I had lots of interesting facts that your child can learn from. This book is my favourite book from the thea stilton series!
Oh my goodness! I have loved this series forever! I have all of the books and read them countless times! It is a little low level for me now, but does that mean I like it less? NO! Definitely one of my favorite series! I want more!
the longest Stilton book in history, but was good bc I didn't read the other adventures they had so I actually had to keep up. World building was fun. silly mystery. the dragons were drawn so cute.
Awesome (5-starred,of course) for all you Mouslet lovers,the newest edition of the sister's adventures. Will has gone missing! I hope you have as much fun as I did finding him.
Good book. I like the fairies’s colour, but realy. I loved the ending,Fuchsia and Arvin finaly met at the Ebony tower, and they married. I also have spoilers! Teehee

My favorite thing about her Secret Fairies series, and basically any Thea Sisters book she wrote, are the illustrations. Whoever the illustrator is, they do such an amazing job. I can see myself there in the drawing, and the detail they add is so amazing! I wish the landscapes they draw were real because I would love to see them n person. I love her Thea Sisters books. The adventures they go on, and the riddles with mysteries are fun!
It is an amazing book! It has adventure, excitement, and fun. I loved it and I think that many others will too! I had lots of interesting facts that your child can learn from. This book is my favourite book from the thea stilton series!
