This is not the worst of the series, but it is the last and I am thankful for that. The end seems to set up potential for a follow-up series; I don't know if it exists or not but I have no interest in reading it. As for this last entry... well, Luke, if you will take a child on a mission you deserve what you get when they act like a child, don't listen, and fuck everything up, leaving you hostage, without your lightsaber, and covered in spider web. You have no-one but yourself to blame.

Sadly, that's not the worst of it. Irritating as the above is, you can sort of excuse it as this series is meant for kids so the child character is going to be front and centre, even if it means to get him there every adult loses every bit of common sense they ever had. No, what's worst is the parentage reveal. It was hinted at pretty heavily in book five, and I had hoped to be wrong because what's the point of writing the same damn story over again? Alas, I was not wrong. If you imagine the laziest, most unoriginal, repetitive ancestral reveal you could possibly have for young Prince Ken you would be right, and then you would rethink your life and reading choices, as I am currently doing.
