The last chapter of the "Books of Beginning" cycle by Stephens. Emma, Michael and Kate lose track of each other more than once, but splitting up is a necessary evil, as was already understood in the previous episode. The stakes are too high, the Feral Magnus must be stopped at all costs. Between battles to the death and some twists, the end is destined to arrive, one way or another.

There is nothing to say about the writing, the same type as the previous two episodes. Quiet, correct, with some very informal parentheses that help, especially if you're dealing with a genre intended for kids. The scenes and settings are more adult than the start of the cycle, even if there are additions that bring the fantasy back to a less complex level, perhaps even more so than in the second episode of the saga. However, neither of these two sides hindered me in reading and I liked the book: less "serious" than fantasy books with elves, dragons, orcs and anything else similar, but precisely for this reason with that boost of originality more than the usual plots addressed in this category. This is why I read the cycle, and it's what ultimately made me appreciate it; a fact that isn't obvious, for those like me who struggle to feel involved in the classic stories of elves, orcs and dragons immersed in a thousand battles. In short, I recommend the book as a fantasy reading for children and teenagers, or for adults who want to return to a look at simpler styles but with quite engaging plots.
