Explosive finale to an excellent series

As usual Mr Stroud's storytelling genius doesn't let you down. The whole series has been captivating and an absolute jo to listen to. His descriptions of characters and places are so thorough that you feel as though you are there in the story, watching Lockwood & Co going through the motions and ready to toss in that flare to help them save the day. Although the main characters in this book are in their teens, I wouldn't say it is just a book for children. I've personally seen 21 twice and then some years added on, but I have loved listening to the whole series. All five books were well narrated, but this one, and the previous two, I'd say were the most satisfying. Emily Bevan really does seem to capture the characters well and pours life and soul into the books. I would definitely recommend this book, and indeed the whole series, to anyone, of any age, who enjoys fast paced adventures with plenty of things that go bump in the night! It's one of those series that I know will come out again and again, even when I have other books on my 'to be read' or 'listen to' list. Loved it!

Finally, Emily Bevan can almost pronounce skull

Like I said, finally she can almost pronounce skull instead of school. Almost. Sadly, her narration is equally over the top as it was in the previous 2 books. She has a slight vocal fry that reverberates when she pronounces some words. Makes her sound like Marge Simpson when she gets annoyed. But the real problem with that is that everyone sounds like skull every now and then. Also she did George and Quill Kipps very poorly. George sounds like an 80-year old and Quill sounds like a granny. Lucy sounds as agitated as if she's a 9-year old who ate batteries for breakfast and Lockwood giggles every second sentence even if he's not saying anything funny. But the story is amazing and that saved everything.

Edited after listening to these books for over 10 times. The performance in volumes 3-5 annoyed me in the beginning but then it grew on me like a fungus, until I ended listening to these books over and over again. Now I like George, Lockwood, and Quill Kipps and can't hear Lucy's accent.

More masterful story telling from Stroud

I’ve been a fan of Jonathan’s work for many years. He has a beautiful imagination and a way of telling magical and engaging stories.

This series is wonderful, full of amazing characters and scenarios. I hope he rethinks and writes more of them.

Brilliant.

Best book series I have ever read. Just a shame there wasn't one more between CS and EG.

Brilliant book but long for another one

I love this and all others but there's room for more! I wish the author would write another because there are questions, how they deal with the problem once and for all, will skull return and will Lockwood and Lucy finally admit their feelings for each other

Fantastic stories well read

A brilliant tale continuing the Lockwood and Co story. No spoilers here. It was great and the whole series of books deserve a listen or read, probably both. I’m off to buy a copy now.

How dare there not be another one.

Must follow Lucy and Lockwood. Startled Reading as a teen, coming up twenty but undying loyalty to the series. Great read.
