She threw everything she had into howling at the moon, singing songs, and giving voices to both the innocent and the bad guys. I realized that Katherine had passed away before finishing the series as I added this book to my shelves and I was crushed. Fiona Hardingham ably stepped in to fill the void and did a marvelous job while being true to her own, slightly more sedate style, but I missed Ms. Kellgren’s spirited reading terribly. The author included a wonderful dedication to Katherine at the end that almost left me in tears. That out of the way, I was so glad to finally wrap this mystery up! I truly enjoy reading about Penelope, Alexander, Beowulf, Cassiopeia, and company, but the series was about one book too long for me. Readers have had all the pieces of the puzzle in hand for a while, so it was just a matter of waiting for the characters to put it together. It was gratifying to watch them finally do that, even if there were a lot of unlikely coincidences. Still, the book is fun and written with tongue very much in cheek, so it doesn’t expect to be taken too seriously. Middle grade readers and other fans of the series will be pleased with the ending, if a bit sad to leave these characters behind. ( ) JG_IntrovertedReader | Aug 11, 2020 | Our blah reaction might be in part a result of Katherine Kellgren's absence as narrator. We started listening to the audiobook narrated by Fiona Hardingham, but after two chapters, we returned the audiobook and purchased the hardcover instead. While we might have found it delightful if Hardingham had been the narrator for the other five books, we missed Kellgren so much that we opted read this one aloud together rather than listen to the audio version. The read-aloud was fun, but all of those voices hurt my throat, and my children are unforgiving critics of my Russian accent. I have neither solicited nor received feedback about my performance from the neighbors who got to hear me reading through our open windows. Flaws aside, this was a good cap for the series, and I am glad we finally got closure. ( ) ImperfectCJ | Jun 28, 2020 | What I didn't love was our young heroine reveling in felony-level fraud as part of her escape from Russia. That does not seem like something a Swanburne girl would do. That misstep aside, I love the constant humorous digressions to define words and idioms or discuss poems, plays and novels.

However, I was glad to reach the end of the journey with this crew, and all in all I'd read the whole series again. If you start the series, you definitely need to finish it through to the end, and it is worth the time. (
