As always the art is amazing, in fact, I'd say the art in this one is the best due to the sheer epicness it portrays but also how it conveys what people are thinking in one or two slides. Everything the other books were leading to is now over and now the world is cracking to pieces and holy god is it epic!! Truly thought everything in this was so freaking cool! The only thing that kept it from a 5 star review was due to the fact that there were just a couple little character things that were kinda dumb like when grandma Ben thought Lucius was dead because he wasn't where she left him, but when Thorn used her power to see into a ghost circle, Ben was just like "oop, guess I was wrong ._." Like th!? In most reviews that would be very minor but since these books are so short and not much is covered, those little things really matter to each review. Overall, though, once the story began to pick up, it shows its greatness and epicness on new levels. Even though it's a "children's story", other epics should aspire to be like this one.
