After reading the first 11 books, I couldn't wait to find out how it was all going to end. For most part, I liked most of this book. It finds the group traveling to the fortress of the dwarves. There they have to try to talk them into digging a tunnel to be able to sneak into Hel. While all this is taking place they find themselves all fading in the real world except April, who is fading in Everworld. The realize that they have to decide which world they really want to be in because the other will fade out. Though the book does let you know in the end what the four decide, it does not tell you the rest of what goes on. This whole time through all of these books, they are on a quest to help Everworld from falling into the hands of Ka Anor. The book never tells you whether they win or not. What happens if they do win? What happens if they don't? I guess it leaves you to make your own ending but I would have like to either see one last book with the battle with Ka Anor or another 50 or so pages added to this one to help end it. There were so many unanswered questions... did all of the Coo Hatch make it back to their own world? Who won the final battle? Did all the gods help in the battle? Did they destroy the Sennites? I really was expecting more at the end.
