Here there does almost become too large a gang of allies on the quest, for their separate comeuppances mean the first half of the book concludes a bit episodically and therefore some people and their fates are forgotten, and Sedgwick does seem to repetitively announce how he's got his subterranean worlds to be illuminated. But quibbles are petty at this stage – this has been a sterling work, providing a healthy amount of fun for the target audience, which will find nothing to fault. As regards our star rating, you ought to feel free to disregard it for this volume – it is a little choppy and patently absurd to expect this to be a standalone work – but it's definitely based on my experience of the very good collection of episodes this whole story is formed from. It's been a rollicking set of titles.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy. We also have a review of [[Terror Town: Elf Girl and Raven Boy 5 by Marcus Sedgwick|Terror Town: Elf Girl and Raven Boy 5]].
The series started [[Raven Boy and Elf Girl by Marcus Sedgwick|here]]. A similar audience is sure to get much from [[Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made by Stephen Pastis]].
