Getting Bastille’s POV was really fun. I enjoyed some of the clever uses of lenses/talents near the end and the way the big bad villain got taken out. I appreciated not having to experience Alcatraz’s trauma first hand but it also seemed to take away from the depth of the story after five books of being inside his head and now…not.

It’s difficult to review the last book in a tween series when my kids are now grown and I read the other books so long ago. That being said, it felt like an appropriate conclusion for the series. I really hope I get to read all 6 with grandkids someday.

Great end to this series. Can't wait till my kids are old enough to read this.

Super fun. Told from point of view of Bastille, not Alcatraz, which made it more interesting this time. Continues the silliness and a fun read.

Alcatraz serisinin yeri bende ayrıdır çünkü hem Brandon Sanderson’dan okuduğum ilk seriydi hem de şimdiye dek okuduğum en tuhaf ve komik seriler arasındaydı. Son kitabın çevrilmesini sabırsızlıkla beklesem de ne yazık ki çevrilmedi ben de en son İngilizce okumaya karar verdim. Benim için biraz hayal kırıklığı oldu yalan yok! Son kitabın yazarı farklı ve neden böyle bir tercihte bulunulmuş anlamıyorum. Janci Patterson’un yazdığı diğer kitaplara bakınca da kendisinin çok başarılı olmadığını gördüm yani neden Sanderson seri finalini yazmayı tanınmadık orta halli bir yazara devretmiş cidden anlamlandıramıyorum. Bir diğer mevzu bu serinin en güzel yanı Alcatraz’ın mizahıyla tuhaf olayların kombinasyonunu okuma zevkini arşa çıkarmasıydı. Bastille’in gözünden hiçbir şey komik değil ve kendisi espri yapma konusunda da başarılı değil. Sanderson’a kızgınım ilk defa okuduğum bir kitabını bu kadar zor bitirdim o da sırf sonunu merak ettiğim için oldu. Hayal kırıklığı oluşturan bir seri finaliydi. Keşke kendisi yazıp tamamlasaydı eminim daha keyifli bir okuma olurdu. Bu kadar orijinal bir serinin baştan savma tamamlanması beni bir okur olarak ayrı üzdü. Middle grade kategorisinde yani orijinalden okuyacaksanız İngilizcesi fazla zorlamaz. Neyse bir serinin daha sonunu görmüş oldum.

I think this was very recognizably different from the rest of the books in the series - not in a necessarily bad way. Not as funny as the rest, but it has its moments and it definitely ties the series up in a satisfying way.
