  Great series to read with the intended audience. Ton of allegories and contrasts between good/evil, God’s word and his sovereignty. Provoked my imagination, no doubt! Definitely a read out loud series that I’d look forward to reading with my kids as they got older.

  Si quieres aventuras, desafíos y vivir muchas emociones, este libro es el indicado.
  Owen Lektor descubre su identidad, y tiene que hacer cumplir la profecía de El Libro del Rey. Pero no será tan fácil, tendrá que pasar por momentos muy. difíciles, tendrá que tomar decisiones complicadas, tendrá que volver a las Tierras Altas y tendrá que enfrentar y aceptar lo que encontrará ahí.
  Lo he terminado de leer y me ha parecido muy interesante, el final es muy bueno, pero hay cosas que jamás me imaginé que iban a pasar, y eso hizo que el libro sea muy interesante y divertido a la misma vez.
  Esta serie, es apropiada para todas las edades, tiene un gran mensaje ( en cada libro encuentras muchos ) y tiene muchas aventuras. Es una de las mejores series que he leído y definitivamente Jenkins y Fabry han hecho un gran trabajo.
  Me ha gustado toda la serie, lo recomiendo a todo el mundo

  I did really enjoy this series, but not quite as much as I expected to. The "cliffhanger" ending of book three was actually something that I had theorized about, but I threw away that idea because I thought "That's such a dumb plot twist, it would never happen." It annoyed me quite a lot. I also wish that dragons weren't portrayed in such a negative light. There were some overused tropes, the chapters are extremely short, and while the series is written mostly in the past tense, it sometimes very weirdly shifts to the present tense (which I don't really like, especially in the third person). Despite its flaws, I still had fun reading it, and The Wormling series has become another favourite of mine.

  Spoilers
  
  While this final book is more well-written than the third book, I found myself very underwhelmed and confused.
  
  There were many themes that seemed to come out of nowhere but that should have been woven in from the beginning. The obvious lack of Watcher left a big hole in the heart of the story (she's my favorite character and I missed her greatly!!) and even bringing Connie back couldn't make up for it, because this Connie is vastly different from the Connie of the first book.
  
  While I was pleased that Connie wound up being the betrothed, the whole marriage plot was a little weird to me. I must admit I shipped Watcher and Owen from the beginning and absolutely adored Connie and Owen's relationship. But once everything was revealed, you never got a real sense of their relationship. It was just, This is what's going to happen and that's that. Nothing was really developed. Connie in particular is hardly seen interacting with Owen and yet once she's told she's going to marry him, she's suddenly madly in love with him? I mean, I totally believe she had a massive crush on him in the first book, but that seems to be a leap.
  
  There's also the age thing that bugs me. How much time is supposed to have passed since the first book? Owen is described as being at least two years behind the other freshman at his school, so he's at most thirteen? Connie I believe is younger than that. By this book, Clara, who is a few years older than Owen, is still in high school. So Owen and Connie get married as teenagers?
  
  I personally think that this series could have been pared down and written as a trilogy, focusing more on weaving in the many themes of the story so they don't just seem to appear out of nowhere. It almost felt like the authors were making up the plot as they went. Also the various relationships needed to be fleshed out more. Connie's in the first book, you fall in love with her, then she disappears, we meet Watcher, fall in love with her, then she dies and now we're back to Connie. It all just feels very disjointed.
  
  Ultimately there's nothing wrong with this series. If a kid asked me if they should read them, I'd say go for it! But I personally wanted more.
  
  As a whole, I loved three of the five stories, but this final story left me wanting. (And believe me, I WANTED to like it. I desperately TRIED to like it, but I just couldn't.) Had I read this series as a kid, I may have not cared as much, but I can't help being disappointed cause it should have been so much better.

  This was a great way to end the Wormling Series. Though I was over the age limit, I enjoyed reading the series I had once read when I was younger. The only thing that perturbed me about this specific book was the descriptions of the people during the Wedding Song. Random people from the Lowlands (whom Owen barely knew) represented beloved characters from the Highlands, and they didn't mix well. Stanley with Mordecai? The Scribe with the undefined editor of the student newspaper in the Lowlands? It made zero sense. But excluding that fact, this book was fantastic with so much symbolism and laughs laced in it; and again, it was a great way to end this awesome series.

  A fitting end
  
  I must admit I stopped reading about three quarters in! So much was happening and so little time seemed left that I could not imaging not being left disappointed in the conclusion of this tale. Again I was proven wrong and for that I am grateful. The ending is a fitting ending, yet I could see there being another tale or two or even another series spinning off this one. All in all a thrilling and very good read!

  And they kissed and everything became okay again. Dead people returned to life... well, not really. But the two worlds united and all the bad things were mostly undone.
  
  The ending was unacceptable.
  
  Also, the marriage plot was a bit too weird for my tastes. So disappointing that such a good series ended up like this.

  The book was awesome! Read all 5 so fast because I couldn’t set them down! The Christian Life parallel was almost too unrealistic and a little stretch, but I would recommend this book for someone wanting to just enjoy themselves!

  I totally devoured this book! One morning I picked up THE MINIONS OF TIME (the book b4 this one in the Wormling Series) and began to read it. I had read a couple chapters in it, but not much. I couldn't put it down, at the end of each chapter, I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. I finished THE MINIONS OF TIME b4 lunch and moved on to THE AUTHOR'S BLOOD. I started it at about one o'clock and finished it at about nine thirty.

  Over all this whole series was really good. This was a great ending to the the series. I liked how the two worlds emerge and shows that we have have a worldly side and a spiritual side that need to merge together and be what God truly wants us to be.
  The whole series keeps you interested and into the story. Was not boring or too preachy. I think kids and adults alike could get something out of it.

  Over all a very good series. It was very much like narnia in that it contained many obvious parallels with christian teachings.
