And Then Came the End

Rating: 4/5

Review: This was a great ending to the trilogy, although I did feel that there were a couple of loose ends. I am wondering if maybe the author is planning a spinoff. We'll have to see. I liked many aspects of the story, such as; the tree nests, the giant who saves the day, Mo's determination to let go of the Bluejay, and Meggie's blossoming romance with Doria. I don't want to give too much away, so I'll stop there.

Book Description:
The Adderhead--his immortality bound in a book by Meggie's father, Mo--has ordered his henchmen to plunder the villages. The peasants' only defense is a band of outlaws led by the Bluejay--Mo's fictitious double, whose identity he has reluctantly adopted. But the Book of Immortality is unraveling, and the Adderhead again fears the White Women of Death. To bring the renegade Bluejay back to repair the book, the Adderhead kidnaps all the children in the kingdom, dooming them to slavery in his silver mines unless Mo surrends. First Dustfinger, now Mo: Can anyone save this cursed story?
