My Review:

I’m still so upset that the last book ended the way it did. I tried to put that behind me, as Jacky herself does, but I’m a world-class grudge-holder. I was mostly able to enjoy this book for itself but I’m still rating it 3 stars instead of the 4 I would probably have given it if that nonsense from book 11 hadn’t happened.

After twelve books, there’s not much more to say. Jacky is Jacky; may she always be true to herself. I’ve laughed and cried through her adventures, hated her enemies, and (mostly) loved her friends. She’s one-of-a-kind and I’m saddened to know that this was L. A. Meyer’s last book before he passed away.

I will note that there’s a scene near the end that might be upsetting to sensitive readers.

Katherine Kellgren’s narration was, as always, an absolute delight.

This nicely wraps up a lot of loose ends and revisits characters whom we haven’t heard from in a while. It’s a fitting end to a series that has brought me a lot of joy.

My Synopsis:

Jacky Faber’s written adventures come to an end when she’s accused of treason and flees down the New England coast.
