5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Conclusion...or is it!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2018

What a wonderful conclusion to the Magisterium series!! I truly believe this wrapped up so well and I couldn't be happier. Even though this is a middle grade series I loved that it went a little darker. Dealing with dark topics and the such. I think it gives a great depth and perception to the young audience that middle grade is geared to, that life is not always rainbows and butterflies, and that it truly can be challenging. However with that being said it also teaches us that no matter what situation in life is dragging you down, there will always be a light at the end of the tunnel. Now that I got that little spiel out of the way, let's proceed with a actual review. The Golden Tower picks up a year later and action ensues almost instantly. The stories and plot to this entire series are always quick and to the point. Their were some great plot moments in this final book and some great character moments as well. There was one part in the book where I kind of predicted what was going to happen next but in my head I was hoping it wouldn't happen. This is made for a younger audience so it's harder for them to pick out what is what, but I still find it enjoyable regardless when my theories come true. With this being a final book, I am sad to see this story end but I am hopeful that Cassandra Clare and Holly Black will revisit this world in the future.

I wish there was so much more, like a book for the collegium. I’m really hoping there’s one in the making, because I’d buy it immediately. I love this series, I want to look forward to a collegium book as well. Thank you for helping me fall asleep at night.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Satisfying Conclusion to a Fun Series
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2018

Holly Black and Cassandra Clare have done it again, providing us with a satisfying conclusion to the Magisterium series. If someone you know has read Harry Potter and is looking for something in the same vein, give them this. (Or Diana Wynne Jones' books - heck give both Jones' work and this series. It's all good.)

Call has survived the events of book 4, including the loss of his best friend, Aaron. Imagine how surprised he is to find Aaron living in his head. Bad guys rise up and are defeated. Our team of teen mages take a road trip to the swamps of Florida. There's young love. A little something for everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A somewhat fitting ending.
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2018

Sticking with the series for five years, I can say that somewhere around book 3, it became clear that the authors weren't as invested in this series as their other main ones (such as The Shadowhunter Chronicles for Clare and the Folk of the Air for Black), but this book made up, somewhat, the pitfalls of books three and four of the series. It was a fitting ending (although at times predictable), and the romance felt forced for the main couple. All in all, the series has a lull in the middle, but The Golden tower makes up for it.

Seriously though I would sincerely like to ask the authors for one more book to answer the questions that popped up in this book that were floated about from book 3 up until the end. Start this series with Book 1, you won’t be disappointed at all.

I read this as a way to get my 10 yr old daughter to read and we both loved it! Her big sister had read the first book years ago and unfortunately didn’t pick up the series. Now that we’ve read it, she’s heading back in and proud she recommended a great series to her bookworm Mom. She also is a huge fan of Cassandra Clare already.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Series for Readers of All Ages
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2018

This is a wonderful series because it is fast-paced and funny while showing the harsh reality that sometimes people are put in difficult situations where they have to make hard decisions about right and wrong. All of the major characters are interestingly flawed and there is a decent representation of diversity amongst the cast in terms of race and romantic orientation.

Most of the plot twists are easy for adults to predict, but young readers will be surprised and adults can appreciate the accurate portrayal of late childhood / early adolescence. I recommend this series to people of all ages if they are fans of magic and snarky humor!

So much fun. I read it straight through except for stopping now and then to let the dogs out. Great characters. Magic and chaos abound in this series. Friendships and villains abounded. I hope the story continues. I'd love to go to college with these kids. Very fast paced and such a good story.

It is a good end to the series. Left it open for a sequel. Aaron is my favorite character. He got payback for what was done to him in the third book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The end
Reviewed in Brazil on April 5, 2023

I had high expectations for this book, and honestly? I was so afraid of what would happen in the end. We have nowhere else to go, finally at the end of the story, we could see one more time Call, Tamara and Aaron together. I cannot describe how happy I felt when I saw that Call's plan worked! It's amazing to have Aaron back for good.
Alex annoyed me the whole book, when he finally died I was satisfied. Master Rufus was a great character and I like him. Warren is a not so mall lizard with much to say, he was a good addition to the story.
I still can't believe that Call's dad became one of the devoured, this was heroic and sad at the same time. As for Call and Tamara's relationship, they are adorable and I love them together.
Jasper finally having another love interest and they all being friends was delightful. I enjoyed seeing them together in that journey.
Finally discovering who Call really was, truly surprised me. I wasn't expecting what happened.
I already miss the Magisterium universe so much! Great characters and amazing story. I will keep it in my heart as one of my favorites.

This was the last book in the magisterium series and it's weird that it's over! I really liked living in this world and seeing the characters grow!
The ending was also really nice.
I suspected pretty quickly what would happen and I'm glad I was right. Although there are also a few things I did not expect at all!
Definitely a fun series especially if you like Harry Potter!
