It feels so weird to think about the fact that this series is over. It feels wrong to know that there aren't any other books left to read - that the story ends here. I'm such a long way from the first time I read the first book back in the 5th grade for a book report. I didn't know I'd end up reading the series in their entirety in my 20s and enjoy them so much.

This book had all the necessary aspects of a good ending to a series - twists and turns, lots of action, gratifying character cameos, moments of shock and mourning, and a happy (yet open?) ending. Ridley did well to bring back Dillard and Finn and possibility of returning Wayne to the parks. I love that there wasn't a kind of fairytale ending for the characters, yet still I teared up and smiled at their ending.

With the parallel timelines of the present and the past, the book felt like a non-stop fast-paced ride. It was a great build-up to the final two battles, which I could visualize perfectly.

Their last visit to the park was a perfect way to end their time as the Kingdom Keepers, and though so much has happened since the creation of the DHIs, they feel like the same people, the same characters that were introduced so long ago. Overall, I'd say I'm content with how this series ended and I HOPE HOPE HOPE they'll one day adapt it into a tv show. It would be sooooo good.
