"A great and touching ending to this quartet of books. Involves a lot of action and some romance. Definitely geared towards lower teen readers with the nice short chapters, but an enjoyable read even for an adult. I just wish there were more books than these four."

— Sheralyn, 11/27/2013" As great as the previous. Luckily Henry did "as expected". Or else, that might have been a disappointment? But of course, a twist here and there makes it lovely <3 "

— Zainab, 6/3/2011" Fourth book in the Fairies Wars Chronicle. Not a bad read (some very good, other parts a bit slow or cheesy). Solid young adult fantasy fiction. Wouldn't put it on a "must read list" but worth the time to check out if you are looking for a new series. "
