*starred review*
The worlds-shattering conclusion to the Gifted Clans trilogy.
Thirteen-year-old Riley Oh's world has turned upside down. Hattie,
her adoptive sister, has opted to stay in the Spiritrealm to better
understand her problems in the Mortalrealm; her parents have
adopted Dahl, her soul twin from back when they lived in the sky;
and to top it all off, she and Dahl are supposed to save the world
and somehow defeat the Godrealm's vengeful goddesses, which is
causing her more than a little anxiety. Luckily, Riley has the
support of her friends from both the Spiritrealm and the witch
clans, and she's going to need it, because the barriers between the
Mortalrealm, the Spiritrealm, and the Godrealm are starting to
thin--and even nonwitches have noticed. Nonstop action, a dash of
humor, and a world of technology and Korean magic combine once
again in the ways that make this series special. In this
installment, Riley truly grows and changes ("compassion isn't only
for your friends--it's for your enemies, too"), but the themes of
family and friendship remain ever present, no matter how far into
the Godrealm she may stray. With higher stakes, even more creatures
from Korean mythology, and plot points from earlier installments
finally addressed, this is an intense, satisfying series finale.
Funny and heartfelt; a compelling tale featuring a sympathetic cast
of characters. (author's note, glossary) (Fantasy. 9-13)- Kirkus
