When you read this book, you feel like you are reading a story that really happened. Muchamore explores the historic facts around the fictional storyline, like a pro.

I didn't realize that the characters in this book were based on real people!

It's strange finishing this series. It wasn't brilliant, but it was pretty good. I really only finished it cause I wanted to know what happened to everyone in the end.
It was good. Not the best in the series. That was probably The Prisoner or one of those other middle books. But hey. Still entertaining as always.
It's weird, cause I started the CHERUB series when I was like 12, finished them at 17. Obviously started Henderson's Boys much later, but despite no longer being the target age, i still definitely enjoyed these books.
It's bizarre to think that I'll probably never read another Robert Muchamore book ever again.

I thought this was a good ending to a brilliant series. Although typically I enjoyed the afterwards/epilogue more than the novel itself as I was eager to see how the characters lived after the war had ended.

I was happy with this book, and I did enjoy it. However, I felt it wasn't as good as some of the previous books in the series, and especially not as great as the original CHERUB novels.
I felt that the plot was really slow at points, and while I've always admired Robert Muchamore's realism and down-to-earth-ness, with this book, it got a bit too dry. What I really loved about CHERUB was the interactions with the characters and the relationships between them, but we really didn't get as much of that in this book. Thus, a bit disappointing.
Rosie's death didn't really upset me as much as it should have- I think Muchamore should have tried for more emotion rather than being super realistic about grief.
The really excellent part, however, was when the Allies came in to liberate the city. It was written very well, the reactions and just everything- the idea that after years of horridness, it was finally over- really got to me and that's when i started crying.
I was not at all happy with the epilogue. I think that Henderson was always too callous about killing, and Luc was a bully, to be sure, but even bullies can grow up and do good in the world.
