Fantastic Finale- Highly Recommend Them!!

I absolutely loved how well this one wrapped up the series and yet there's potential should she want to continue it. I don't want to give anything away, so I'm sorry if this review comes off a bit vague. This book lost any of the predictability that there had been at times in the previous books, and then add the picked up pace as the battles intensify-- it only makes it harder to put the book down. Just be prepared for this to take a few days to get through as it is an 20 hour book.

This series is perfect for any age (clean enough for all but probably 3rd grade & up) that loves large book fantasy sagas like The Lord of the Rings, Fablehaven, The Five Kingdoms, and The Beyonders. These books really need to be read in order to get the most out of them and I will absolutely be reading them again.

The narrator does a phenomenal job as always and really is one of my favorite narrators. He just does such a wonderful job with all the voice differentiation, accents, and his overall acting is all top-notch.

Awesome Fantasy

I enjoyed book 4 of "The Minstrel's Song" series a lot. Each book in the series was great, but this impressive conclusion to the series was remarkable. From the beginning until the end, I was absorbed into the story. I liked the characters. I appreciated the non-stop action. The tale had some surprises and flashes of humor. Benjamin Fife's narration was brilliant, and his performance brought the story to life. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Highly recommend

I loved this book and the entire series!! The character development was very well done and the plot line was very enjoyable. This is my go to series to gift to my kids friends (and I tell the parents they will enjoy it too).

Reminds me of Narnia!

A satisfying conclusion to the series! And engrossing story … action packed. Reminiscent of Narnia! I received a free copy of the audiobook, with no obligation.

Incredible and Impossible Quests

Everything comes to a head. All the kingdoms, even a few we haven't yet met. All the forces of evil. All of the leaders who we've come to know and love over the course of the series step up to play their role. There is a great battle. Sacrifices will be made. Lives will be lost. And finally, we learn who the minstrel is and if the one he serves is as good and as powerful as the minstrel believes he is.

It's an amazing finale. I'm sad for it to be over but blown away by how good this series was. I am ready to start reading it all over again and will be listing it among my favorite family-friendly, good-versus-evil epic fiction series.
