Good conclusion to a series

I really enjoyed the follow up to her previous books - though I admit I was not expecting a sequel but I'm glad to see that Link and Rocky sort of got their HEA.

I really enjoyed these books. This was a good conclusion. As always in these trilogies, it seems like book one is awesome and book two is "eh" and book three is fairly good.  This book was true to that layout.

I liked this one a lot, overall. The main character was someone I could root for and the romantic interest was --- interesting. :)  The premise of the book was wonderful. The ideas fresh. Really liked these books.

This is the final book in The Books of Beginning series and ties up the story nicely.  There is a lot of action and dimensional travel.  I ended up enjoying it a lot.

Emma, Kate, and Michael need to get the third and final Book of Beginning, The Book of Death, before the Dire Magnus does.  However, the getting of the third book is left largely to Emma; only she can journey to the Land of the Dead and retrieve The Book of Death.  Additionally the three siblings have found out that The Books of Beginning are tearing the world apart and there is only one way to save the world; first the Dire Magnus much be defeated and then the Books must be destroyed.

This was a well done conclusion to this series.  There is a lot of action and adventure.  The book changes point of view a lot, alternating between Emma, Kate, Gabriel, and Michael.  We also finally get to meet our Emma, Kate, and Michaels parents.

Strangely I don't have a ton to say about this book.  I really enjoyed watching Emma journey to the Land of the Dead.  I continue to enjoy the tension between Kate and Rafe (the Dire Magnus).  I loved some of the scenes with Wilhelmina (the elf princess Michael has a crush on) fighting as a dragon.

My only complaint is that the book felt really long.  I think it was paced pretty well, it just felt like it was a long read.  It was almost like two books were smooshed together in this one book.

Overall this was a great conclusion to this middle grade fantasy series.  I enjoyed the characters, the plot, and the action.  I would definitely recommend this series to middle grade fantasy fans out there.  Stephens did a great job of tying everything up and I am curious to see what he writes next.

Morgan Rice finally concluded the Sorcerer's Ring series in this tale.

I have mixed feeling about the conclusion. On one hand I'm thrilled she finally killed it because the last several books felt like the same thing regurgitated over and over again (like beating a dead horse).

That said, I appreciated her review of all that she brought us and her characters through in the series. Her brief mentions had me recall momenteous events in the characters lives. This made me realize how much growth each of the characters experienced since the beginning, several years ago.

My only objection to how she concluded the series was many of the events conveniently fell in place too conveniently. ***SPOILER*** I'm glad she reunited everyone at the end, but life just doesn't happen that cleanly, especially when the rest of the series was about exactly the opposite. ***END SPOILER***

Overall, I give this 4 stars out of 5

A good wrap up of this segment in this series.  It was interesting that the author chose to bring most of the main characters back when the ship finally made it back.  Since I do not understand the rank structure, I would hope that the main characters stay together in the next segment.  Great adventure, strong cast of characters and believable action.

This is the culmination of the series.  while I didn't enjoy it quite as much as some of the earlier books, I would still give it 5 stars

I liked the conclusion to the series. Some of the plot pieces were contrived and not totally followed through with but overall a good read. I would have liked a more thorough conclusion such as finding out what each species now planned on doing or if certain burgeoning romances that had been hinted at would actually come to fruition.  With such a large cast, there were bound to be some loose ends.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was the second in the series of the story line and it was a good ending and culmination of the story.

I really enjoyed this series and look forward to reading other books by the Author. The epilogue almost felt rushed, but it was a good tie up to the story.

This was an enjoyable read. Many books are easy to predict, but there were a few unexpected turns here. Nice conclusion to an intriguing series.

I still love Jonathan and Monica in this final conclusion to this series. It is a great way to end things. It left nothing out for this couple.

I will say it went at a slower pace than then the other books. And that's ok. This was totally just Jonathan and Monica. And though this is a great end for the series at times I found it too slow.

But all in all I gave it four stars.

Good conclusion to series about a dragon shifter and his mate.  Part 3 of 3 books.  Part of Kindle Unlimited - all books in series are.  No cliffhanger but I hope their siblings get books too.

I promised myself after the ridiculous, overly comic book ending of the last book I was done with this series. But the temptation to read just one more was too strong. And I'm glad I did. This one tied up the loose ends and ended some of the (in my opinion) overly silly plot lines that were still going. There was still some silliness here and there, but mostly it was a step in the right direction. It sets up the series nicely for a 'back to basics' next book that involves what the series does best: space exploration/adventure.

It didn't really fully wrap up but a pretty good conclusion to the series. It had a lot of strong language throughout that wasn't necessary in my opinion. There were a lot of unexpected twists and turns and some predictable moments especially near the conclusion.

The conclusion to the series was very good. The author leaves the end of the series on an eerie note. Mannerling still has a hold on the family and you get the feeling the house needs to be destroyed just as Miss Trumble declared. The only off note in the story was the very sudden declaration by the Duke that Lizzie must indeed marry him. Lizzie's change in feelings was made clear but the Duke did not seem to have reached that same conclusion. Lizzie just walking into his room and finding him in the washtub was a little too unreal. Any young girl such as Lizzie would have at the very least turned her back or left. I did however enjoy the varied attitudes of the houseguests and the interaction among the quests seemed very believable and real. Even with the above negatives the story was still a five stars for me.

A nice conclusion to the series. It kept me in suspense till almost the very end. It was well thought out. I do wish the characters had been developed a bit more; I thought there was a lack of interaction between Roman and Elf, unlike the previous books, which would have added more to the story line. I would have loved to know what her thoughts were when the Admiral's daughter told Roman she was available to him, a gift in essence for his loyalty. All in all a very enjoyable book.

A very good conclusion to a great series. A lot of questions were answered . The plot lines were complicated and intricately woven together, but only understood when read with the other books in the series. I look forward to the next new series Excelsior by this author.
