A fitting finale to the Wyrd Museum trilogy.
So, I almost gave this book 3 stars, but the last 100 pages redeemed it (not that 3 stars is bad). I still think I like the previous two books better, but I did enjoy this one. It just seemed a bit more disjointed maybe, or like Jarvis was trying to fit too many things into one book.
This this a tie for my favorite with The Woven Path
Brilliant end to the trilogy! While I stand by my previous statement that Robin Jarvis always makes the second book in each series the best one, I still really enjoyed this story.
In this book, the action is firmly back in the Wyrd museum, as Woden and his agent cause various different timelines to converge, resulting in numerous characters from the building’s history reappearing - some good, some very very bad.

A potent mix of Nordic legends and a classic haunted house story. And of course being the third book in a Jarvis trilogy, it's full-on from beginning to end.

Wow - what an amazing ending to this trilogy.
The battle between the Gallows God and the three Fates is coming to an end. Neil and Edie must help Ursula gather as much power as they can to protect the Loom of the Destiny, even if that means waking up the Wyrd Museum and the secrets it holds. But the other side has that idea too and there's not much they can do when the very building they live in turns against them. But right at the end, they release a huge mistake has been made and an even more a ...more

This was a wonderful and very fitting end to the series. In this book the stakes are raised with the battle between good and evil being centered in the museum, and revelations abound. For me this book tied in the characters from the first two novels well and made an exciting twist or two along the way.

Robin Jarvis is one of the best children's writers I know, and he manages to convey darkness in such an accessible way. This is a fitting ending to his Wyrd Museum trilogy, and its creepiness will stay with you for a long time after you finish reading it.

Took me a while to get through, but once I got over how annoying I found Neil and Edie, it was a pretty good end to the trilogy.
Also, I only added horror as this book was pretty dark and gruesome.

A well fitting ending to the series. I wish there would be more to it, but fine stories has to come to an end. The plot move a long nicely and this being a kids book? I think some older readers may enjoy this. There should be no shame of adults reading kids books.
This book made me cry so many times...the last time because such an amazing trilogy had come to an end. I will forget this journey and the inspiring characters!
This was an excellent completetion to the series - lots of action - kept moving rapidly, interesting - well written.
It was so good! Really sad to see this interesting series end :( but it was a good end. Excited to find more books with Norse mythology in them.
I found this trilogy started off well, but got progressively more violent. Had problems finishing it.
A disappointing conclusion to the Wyrd Museum trilogy.
