Review Detail

This whole series is one of the best I've read in a long while, but the final book is exceptional. I couldn't possibly imagine a better ending than the one Mull has created here, despite the deaths of many of my favorite characters. I ended up finishing the book at work and spent about 2 hours with a tissue held to my eyes so I wouldn't scare the customers away. If I'd been at home, you can bet I'd have a full on ugly cry going.

If you don't think you like middle grade, you should give this series a chance anyway. There's a lot of action, great character development, and a magical land with its own rich history. I'll have to buy the whole series so I can put it on my favorites shelf; it's that great.
