Publisher's summary

Celestial beings and human witches clash for the future of the human and fairy worlds in Paul Cornell's Last Stand in Lychford.

There are changes in the air, both in Lychford and in the land of fairy.

The magical protections previously employed by the town are gone, and the forces of darkness are closing in - both figuratively and literally.

Can Autumn and Lizzie save their community, and...well, the world...?

Exploding fairies, the architect of the universe and a celestial bureaucratic blunder make this a satisfying conclusion to the ever-popular Witches of Lychford series.

Suggest a Hard Pass on this one

For four books, Paul Cornell wove an intricate, elegant narrative with three finely detailed main characters. In spite of the cost/page being really high, I willingly paid my credits because I enjoyed the nice balance and respect for all the characters he showed and the plot lines were engaging. Then this. This final story was not necessary - book 4 has a much more satisfying conclusion - and everything I loved about Judith, Lizzie, and Autumn was either ignored or trashed. In addition, the plot is not as engaging and lacks the internal logic of the previous books. When I re-read this series (and I will), I will stop with Book4 and try to forget I read this last disappointing book.

Emma Newman delivers a nice performance.

Solid conclusion to a unique & quirky series

A solid conclusion to the Lychford series. The stakes could not have been higher (literally 25 minutes from the end of the world). I especially loved the humor in this one, and I continued to appreciate what Cornell has to say about the complexities of human beings and how they make sense of the world. The solution to the problem of warring realities was unexpected, but so delightfully British. I also liked some surprising character developments. I want to re-read the entire series again to see how it works as a continuous story, without having to wait a year for the final installment.

Terrific, more please.

I enjoy the story, female protagonists, suspense and humor. More please. Also, please finish the Shadow Police series.
