This book was pretty good, although not as good as the beginning of the series. I enjoyed how things kept coming back full circle and was surprised by some of the twists. I feel that this book brought closure to the series and left me with a feeling of a promising future. Overall I am very happy that I took the time to read this whole series. I enjoyed it immensily and would definitely recommend it to others interested in magical series.

Terrific end to this series. Although, I do think that there should be more books considering how it ended.

There was a brief moment in this final book of the series when it actually seemed to be reading reasonably well, and then the messy plot and the ridiculous nature of the series took over again, and it got more and more horrible by the end.
One of the problems in this series was in a five book series there were four "co-authors" - co-authors being the people who actually wrote the book - and therefore it was somewhat disjointed, because the voices of the characters never felt the same.
The other issue with this book was that the major decision made by one of the two main characters was so out of character and unbelievable as to make the book seem nonsensical.
The other main issue is the whole magic itself just doesn't feel like magic but some sort of weird new fantasy invention of blue laser beams flying around.
And to make a trio of issues - the book series always felt like it had come to a conclusion, especially after books three and four and then there was another one, and so it kept going.
Of all the Patterson Incorporated series I have read, this so far is the worst.
