The Faeman Quest by Herbie Brennan
2.0
I really loved the first four books in this series, and while book 5 does somewhat fit in the scope of the series, it was somewhat rushed for my liking. I found that I liked the new character of Mella, who is Blue & Henry's 15 year old daughter, but there wasn't much of the book spent with her.
To me, it read like a book-long epilogue. A "where are they now" special about the characters from the first books of the series. It's a fun look at what the villains, heroes, and random side characters are doing now, but don't expect much more than that. The plot line is a little weak and sorted out far too quickly in the final few chapters of the book. I would have preferred if this was stretched out over two or three books so that the author had time to revisit old favorites while building up the world as it is now, 15 years after the epic conflicts of the original 4 books.
Overall, it's not a bad book, but unlike the others, I won't be revisiting it.
