Last book

It was as expected very good. But I will say it did lack substance, it was a bit of romantic fluff for Alex and Magus. So don't expect anything amazing from it, it is a light,simple just there to entertain story.

I'm enjoying reading this series, because the authors are managing to make a link between all the books ever published.
The stories are funny, exciting and with a lot adventure. The facts are described subtle way, if you have not yet read one of the series, you do not get lost. Who knows other books are able to recognize the references,and who didn't read can understand too.
In this book, in particular, I liked how Magnus' feelings are described. This all without miss a dose of humor, so striking feature of this character
