An AMAZING end to a spectacular series!!! I absolutely adored this!!!!
Let the SQUEE-fest begin...
A few weeks ago, I got some VERY, VERY GOOD NEWS.....I had won an ARC of Lian Tanner's Path of Beasts.
OH.
MY.
GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I literally squealed when I read the email from her. Seriously, I scared the bejebus out of my kids!! And so when it showed up, I couldn't wait to crack it open and devour it. And devour it I did.

Goldie, Bonnie and Toadspit are staggering back into Jewel after their escapades in City of Lies when they see Blessed Guardians dumping a sack in the canal... a sack which contains a barely alive Grand Protector. When they get back to the Museum of Dunt they find out that the Fogelman has taken over and is trying to bring the town of Jewel to its knees. Goldie, especially (having been imbued with the spirit of the ancient Merne Princess Frisia, who is very warlike!) is not okay with this, and s...more
I listened to the audiobook version in two days. It was so good that I sat in the driveway, then decided that I just had to bring it in and listen to the rest of it. Lian Tanner has created, in these three books, a world and a story that are, together, completely engrossing.
I can't believe that I have already reached the end of my journey with Goldie, Toadspit and Bonnie. I wish I could hear an account of every day of their lives, because I'm sure each day would bring new mysteries and adventure...more

The author, Lian Tanner, handed me the final instalment in The Keepers trilogy, Path of Beasts, to enjoy before the book’s release in October. And enjoy, I did.
I’m not ashamed to say that like many millions of other ‘grown-ups” I waited patiently for the release of new titles about a certain bespectacled boy Wizard and waiting for new instalments of The Keepers has kept me similarly engaged.

Goldie and Toadspit are at it again - right in the thick of the intrigue and politics of the town of Jewel. After their trials in the City of Lies, Goldie and Toadspit return to Jewel to find that it, and the Museum of Dunt are, once again, under attack. The Museum is most upset, and it is taking all of Sinew, Olga Ciavolga and Herro Dan's skill to keep the contents of the museum from running amok in the streets of Jewel. Can the children devise a plan to save Jewel? And can they do it on their...more
A really solid ending to a solid middle grade trilogy. My enjoyment of the series didn't stutter at any point from the start of the first book to the end of this one. This ties up the series nicely, but the world built in the book is so broad I wouldn't be surprised to see another book taking place here.
Fantastic ending to a fantastic trilogy. Action packed and emotionally engrossing, Goldie and her friends face the biggest battle yet. Highly recommended!

I am really glad this one ended as it did! This trilogy is really cool! I am not sure if kids age fifth and sixth grade will enjoy it, but I sure did. Some of it was kind of scary, but I think that age can handle it well, as long as they like this kind of book. It has adventure and mystery. It involves kids that do more than adults to get their city back. A very good read! :)
Love this trilogy! I actually removed my hands from the steering wheel to clap while listening to the first book.
Very good ending!! All the characters that have come together to end this trilogy was great. Absolutely in love with these books! <3
I got this book last Christmas and just finished reading it. It is very tense at the end.
Great finish to the series! Happy with the series, great characters, fun ideas.
Wow, I was dreading reading about the 'foobleman' and his antics, but this was such a good book! Perfect ending to such an action-packed trilogy.
Wonderful ending to a great trilogy.
I left too much time between book 2 and book 3, and struggled to recall the characters and their titles. Solid conclusion to an enjoyable series.

I have loved both the audio, and the written form of these books. They are a quick read, fun to listen to. The first one in the series is The Museum of Thieves.
Nice wrap up to this fun trilogy.

The Audio book has a really overly dramatic narration but after I got used to it, it really helped carry the story along. This is the climatic final battle between the Fugleman and the Museum. It takes placed directly after the events of The City of Lies and ties up all the various plot lines introducted the the first two books of the series. I good conclusion to the series. I really enjoyed it.
I think it was an amazing book. It kept me on my toes the whole time. It couldn't of had a better ending.
An exciting conclusion to a fun, fast paced and exciting trilogy by Lian Tanner. I am wondering what's next from this author? I will keep an eye out. Great for the pre-teen set... and those who like a rollicking good story!

This was an excellent end to the trilogy. At parts it was so tense I almost couldn't carry on but I knew it had to work out in the end and it was well worth all those nerves! A great end to a very anticipated book.
A fine conclusion to the trilogy! Leaves the option of further books about this world open, but doesn't require them.
Love this series! It carries a great message to kids to be true to themselves!
