This book has a lot more going on than the others. More characters, quests, challenges and growing. I felt this book wrapped up the on going stories well and held your attention. I still think this would be a good series to get kids interested in fantasy.

Easily the best for me. The pacing felt so much better in this book. I wish publishers at the time had been willing to let Pierce make each book this long.
Also, love getting more badass ladies and more George Cooper.

Fun! I didn't like this one as much as the first two books but I think I liked it better than the last one? The pacing is just all over the place and it feels like a lot of build up from the past books was just thrown away. There were times when it was fast paced and then it would be boring for so long. The story was kind of all over the place too but it is really fantasy which I ate the hell up when I was younger. A lot of what happened was just wild and I was just ??? Do we have to do all of this? But it was fineee.
I liked the ending well enough though.

2.5 for this book
3 to 3.5 for the series
Obviously I am in the minority, but this series just didn't wow me. For the fantasy/world building aspect, it is basic and unmemorable. George is the shining star, and I wish there had been even more moments with his character. If you're a seasoned HF reader, I wouldn't discourage reading it, but there's 50+ other series to read before this one.
