I honestly just picked up this book to complete the series because yes I am a completionist. But I had to put this one down. It just wasn't all that fun, It seemed like it was taking me forever to finish it and I don't know maybe it was the slump.

But I still think its a good book, it has adventure, a bit of mythology, innocent humor and characters with some spunk and personality (though you can tell it's childish). But it's middle grade so that's expected.

Just not what I need at the moment.

pussreboots's review against another edition

5.0

The entire kingdom and surrounding wildness has been transformed by the repeated abuses of magic perpetrated by the Summer Queen or in the name of the Summer Queen.

There are also further explorations of the Troll and Ogre people and their cultures. Ross's take here is one I haven't seen before, where they are one and the same being more culturally different than species different.
