I thought this series was finished and neatly wrapped up with the downfall of the evil dictator ruling this dystopian government. In typical not-what-you-expect-from-him fashion, Mr. Patterson proved me wrong. This book was an interesting way to go. What happens after the overthrow of an evil ruler? Will the new government be better than the last? What if the people fall into their old patterns?
Whit and Wisty grow apart a bit in this novel, as siblings inevitably do. Old characters make a comeback and some new ones add drama. We explore the idea that a witch and wizard set to save the world may have been a different set of kids than we thought.
For writing the dystopian conclusion that needed to be written, for taking his series one step further than anyone else is taking similar books to, for surprising me with the new installment, for all those reasons and more this one is highly recommended.

This series is a pain in the butt to read. So boring. People sounded whiny. Of course I just have to finish it because you know, I love torture.

I give this book a 4.5!! It was so amazing, with plot twists that came out of thin air, and kept me on the edge of my seat. In fact, you might not believe this, but I finished this whole book i UNDER 3 HOURS!!! Yes, all 365 pages or however long that book was!
Here's my one hint: No one and nothing is what they appear to be.
If you're just dying to figure out that mystery, READ THIS BOOK! After the other 3 books of course...
