I liked this one the best so far. I like that we’re getting to know more about the author. I liked seeing the past, even though the inconsistencies are bothering me. And I hope we finally find the secret in the last book, but I don’t think we will

This book was WILD, in the terms that it felt like such a shift from the last ones. Like the last three were a little silly and goofy, meanwhile this one is just everyone being depressed and messed up.
First real chapter and CASS IS IN A COMA???? Naurrrr
Girl,,,, I really SO BAD for Max-Ernest

Just a short review:
Unlike all the other books, this one was frankly, quite boring and not that interesting. It had some fun things though. I liked the time travelling thing, though Cass forgot the number 1 rule, avoid your ancestors, as to not break your future. Here it magically went well, which was kind of a disappointment, I kind of hoped for a small little plot twist at the end, which we didn't get.
I think it is still magical that these kids don't see through Owen's disguises. You would say they would know by now that anyone suspicious would either be a baddy or Owen. :)
Well just to complete this series I will read book 5 and hope it will be better than this one. I somehow feel like the series could have completed way faster if we just skipped parts and all.
Ah, another thing, I liked the footnotes in the beginning (book 1/2) but by this book I am getting tired of this and it pulled me out of the story a lot.

Read this one recently with my daughter to finish out the series. We read them out of order. I think they would be better read in order, but when we originally picked up book two as the first read we didn't realize it was a series. We didn't find them confusing to read at all, but there may be some light spoilers and such by reading later books first.
I think this was one of the weaker books in the series. It started strong, I liked the bits with Cass tracking down the Jester, but overall it was just too long. This one clocked in at just over 400 pages, where the others were around 350 or less.
The Midnight Sun felt a little absent too? The Renaissance Faire was fun though and I liked the inclusion of some side characters to round out the cast.
A fun little series I recommend for kids at Middle Grade ages.
