Overall, I really really loved this book.

It had danger, consequences, huge reveals, and character development.

I needed to know what was going to happen and I was satisfied with the results although I saw most of them coming but not overtly obvious. There was one major plot point that I completely missed and was shocked to discover. Things just got real, y'all.

There was one scene in the book which threatened to knock at least a half star off but enough space came between that section and the end of the book (which was superb) that I am willing to overlook. Besides, I'm pretty sure Michael Buckley perhaps wrote that section to make his son Finn laugh and I can't deny him that.

As this book deals with the Everafter War, I was curious how two more books were going to occur after as the series is nine books total. Well, question answered and approved.

This whole series makes me want to re-read all of Fables and actually review them on Goodreads as opposed to the generic ratings I gave them. This is also an excuse for me to buy used copies of all of them:-)

Maybe.

I have only one book left in the published series with no release date for the ninth book although the interwebs tell me that it will be released this year. Due to the size of the books, I don't believe this series will surpass Harry Potter. Due to the volume of pages we spent with Harry and Co., that series will also feel much more personal, involved, grander to me. However, I still feel as though this series is the closest any book as come to making me feel like I did while reading Harry Potter.
