"This is another trilogy that has 13 year olds saving the world. It is is too bad there are no adults left to help. I liked the series very much and found the author improved with each book. The books seems to be a little slow at the beginning of each, but gather speed with each chapter. The story line is a bit adult at times, causing me to wonder if I really should read this to my children, but I think it works if we are reading it together. (The questionable subject is the deaths of parents, children being left alone to fend for themselves, and the accurate depiction of evil in the main villian with his lies and killings.) I think most of the 14 year olds I know would be able to deal with it, so I do recommend it. It was a pleasant fantasy read."

Quotes
-
“A thrilling, heart-wrenching conclusion to the series.”
— Horn Book Guide -
“In this concluding book in the trilogy, George and Edie finally face their enemies…[and] their pasts are finally fully revealed…Those familiar with the earlier titles will be satisfied.”
— School Library Journal (starred review) -
“Dale’s dynamic narration and his energetic and compelling characterizations help even unfamiliar listeners become quickly invested in this action-packed story…George is brave and believable, and Edie—with her delightful Scots accent—is charming and engaging. Dale’s depictions of others (from rough, loyal WWI soldier Gunner to snarling gargoyles) add texture to a terrific, original story.”

" Fletcher started out strong with Stoneheart, but obviously was struggling to make this series a trilogy. There are too many drawn-out scenes and characters to keep me interested in what's going on. "
— Diane, 2/16/2014 -
" Fitting end to a great series. "
— Maria, 2/10/2014 -
" More swearing, but I loved this series. I figured out the one thing that was bothering me. (It only took three books.) The author's repetitions. Still, well worth reading. If you need a copy with the swearing blotted out, I have one. Hehe! "
— Nisa79, 2/10/2014 -
" Listening to this whole series because Jim Dale read it. It's good at times but does go on a bit with endless action & disasters befalling the main characters. Gets a bit exhausting but will finish eventually since I've already invested so much time. "
— GalwayGirl, 2/8/2014 -
" I enjoyed this series. I liked the idea of using London statues and I liked the character development throughout the series. I was a little disappointed in how it ended, but at least it was a happy ending. "
— Lori, 2/6/2014 -
" Very cute book, hard to know it was a third book as there were very few refencexs to what happended in other book, very grateful for that. "
— Amanda, 1/25/2014 -
" I had a hard time getting into this one, but it's been awhile since I read the first 2. I really liked it once I got the ball rolling, though. Very adventurous! The author used the word "bloody" so much, it got a bit distracting. "
— Michelle, 1/12/2014 -
" I feel almost as exhausted as if I'd been fighting all those battles myself! "
— Tamora, 1/8/2014 -
" What a great ending to a good set of books. I enjoyed the idea of different layers of London "
— Lisa, 1/5/2014 -

— Isaac, 1/3/2014 -
" Pretty good end to a interesting trilogy. I'll never look at London in the same light again! "
— Clare, 12/25/2013 -
" I recommended this book to my husband to read as he likes fantasy novels with little to no teen drama in them. This is full of violence, and the hard raw look at life. That said i enjoyed reading them despite the downs in emotion. "
— Sarah, 12/5/2013 -
" So much promise from the first book distilled into this passable action novel with a lot of supernatural nonsense. I really want to like books 2 and 3 of this series more (I had a hard time putting the first one down), but it just felt tired at the end. "
— Nick, 10/2/2013 -

" This was a great finish to the trilogy! There were a few loose ends that kind of bugged me since a few references were made to these characters as the book wound down but all in all a satisfactory ending. I highly recommend this series/author. "
— Tami, 9/8/2011 -
" An action-packed conclusion to this trilogy! I love Jim Dale as a narrator -- he brings the characters to life. I need to see if I can find pictures of some of the statues mentioned in the story. "
