This book provided a great conclusion to the Summoners Trilogy. I enjoyed both of the two main acts of the book along with the consistency of the characters moving through it. I still think that there were too many names and things pulled from the real world that dragged me out of the story, but this didn’t kill my enjoyment.

Sadly the cover gives a bit of a spoiler, but it’s not a huge one.

I would have loved a longer epilogue, but still everything ended on a great note!

I really really enjoyed this book, and I'm kinda sad that there won't be more books. I was taken on such an emotional roller coaster towards the end, and although there were some parts that were a little boring, they didn't happen very often. I also thought that the ending battle was very abrupt, and i wish there had been a little more to Fletcher's battle against Khan. I will definitely be reading this trilogy again, along with any short stories or other books by Taran Matharu.

Non-stop action to finish out the series. Just how much more could these characters go through? Answer: so much more and then some. Such a good wrap-up to the series!
