"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. "

    " 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! "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
