Finale to a wonderful series

I'm having a hard time writing this review. It's just that there was an element of the book that I just had a hard time appreciating. That fact for me is that there seems to be a bunch of things that are very far-fetched. If the age of the characters was a little bit older, I would consider it plausible.  But I did love this series. She completed the story and answered all questions. Personally, I am happy with who Moon Boy was.  He was who I had in mind. I don't want to discount Jillian Dodd in any way, this is just me. I'm sure plenty of people were beyond thrilled. It would have been a 5 star for me if some things were not so unbelievable. But I still want to thank Jillian Dodd for such an amazing series and such fabulous characters!

The series was a wonderful read and this final one didn't disappoint. A lot of shocks were revealed and codenames. Truly a delight to read.

This was an amazing conclusion to a wonderful story. The reading is great, and full of life. I will be listening to this story a few more times before I retire it. If you enjoy Science Ficton, then you will enjoy this series.

So sad to see the series end, but she does a great job of bringing all of the history together and ending it gracefully.  A great read.

Wow! What a great ending to a wonderful series. I couldn't put this book down. While it can be read on its own, I think you will enjoy it more if you've read the previous 3 in this series. I say that because each book delves further into the mystery that the Frobisher brothers are investigating.

This book is primarily Royd, the eldest Frobisher son, and Isobel Carmichael's story. They have been in love since he was 11 and she 8. An occurrence that happened about 8 years before this story caused a rift between them. (no spoilers from me) The Frobisher family are privateers who also do some work, quietly, for the government. The Carmichael family builds and improves ships.

Royd has been asked to go to Freetown to finish the investigation into the missing men, women and children. Isobel insists Royd takes her along as her cousin, Katherine, is one of the missing. Before leaving, they receive news from Caleb, his youngest brother. He has sent his ship back with information they will need to rescue the captives, find and prosecute the backers.

Of course Declan and his wide Edwina, Robert and his fiance Aileen, and 2 other Frobisher ships are meeting him in Freetown. After taking care of the situation in Freetown they return to London to discover and prosecute the backers of the mine.

I truly enjoyed all 4 of these books, especially this one. I have tried to entice you to read this without ruining all that's going on. I appreciate that the author has a Cast of Characters in the front of the book if you need it, as it's hard to remember all of the minor characters from the earlier books.

A beautiful and perfect finale for a wonderful show. Resolved the characters arcs just as they should be, and brilliant and funny as ever. Obviously not much punch if you haven't listened to the 25 prior episodes, but it's a good finish and although it's painful to leave the characters behind, they live with every re-listen. Could not recommend enough.

My journey with this series has finally come to an end! Everything about this finale was wonderful. It wrapped up a lot of the loose ends and plot threads created throughout the other four books in a way that was ultimately satisfying. Two of the best things about this series were the characters and the world. Each book brought a new level to how big this world actually is which was wonderful. With some books it feels like you never fully get to see the entirety of the world that was created. That is not the case with this. Also the characters were executed flawlessly. They each had their own trials and tribulations to surpass which ultimately brought them all back together in the end. Action was still top notch. Every scene is so descriptive and engaging. Even the scenes involving the cutters (you know what I am talking about if you read this) are so vivid, sometimes to the point where I cringe. I am so happy that I discovered this series and also this author because he quickly rose to be one of my all time favorites and I will continue to purchase his books as they come out. Highly Highly recommend this series to anyone looking for flintlock fantasy. It is a bit of a chore to get past the military jargon but once you do this world will take you by storm!

This is the final book in this series and I enjoyed this one. It wraps up the series nicely and was glad that the main characters received their HEA!! I can't wait for the next book by the author.

A great finish to a wonderful series.

But more importantly a shout out to Amazon who didn't give me any hassle on an exchange when one of the disks would not play on any of my electronics. Thanks!

This is such a wonderful series, and this last book will make you laugh, cry and have hope - even if you haven't read the earlier ones, but I do recommend doing the series in order.  You will become part of the community of characters.  Looking forward to re-reading!

As the last book in the series I was happy and sad to see the group go.  But I think Kim Harrison did a fabulous job closing out the series.  I cannot recommend this series highly enough!

Awesome ending to a long series, with joy, sadness, and happiness.  As always, the characters are well-written and very 3-dimensional.  This series has been a great read and a great adventure!  It is definitely worth starting at the beginning and reading the entire adventures of Dulcie and crew.  Somehow, everything turns out how you wish.

It is a series I know Im going to read again in the future and I think that is saying enough.

The final book brings to a fitting close this beloved series that has captivated young and old.  Now I'm waiting for the series to be printed in collectors-quality covers that I can buy for my grandchildren.
