It’s going to be messy, but I’m going to do my best to write a coherent review. This was always going to be an impossible review for me to write, seeing as it’s the finale to my favourite series. I love this series and can’t wait to reread it. They’re multi layered, featuring complex characters and in places are more than a little spooky. These books are fantastically diverse and inclusive, beautifully written, savagely unflinching and uncompromising in their portrayal of historical cruelty, wonderfully well researched. Ghosts who we need to be able to see and listen to in order to avoid creating more of them. Ghosts who will always live in then haunted house we built. The real ghosts of the Diviners series are the ghosts of repression, injustice and prejudice. Ghost stories are always about the people and not the ghosts – something Bray has always done well. A longer, more fulsome and no doubt meandering review to come nearer to release date, but this entire series is phenomenal. This was everything I wanted it to be and more. And I still need to apologise to the neighbours for the pterodactyl screech I let out on discovering I had an arc. Libba Bray’s tour de force of blended history, urban fantasy and the gothic comes to a breath taking, gut punch close in this fourth book. In this sweeping finale, The Diviners will be forced to confront their greatest fears and learn to rely on one another if they hope to save the nation, and world from catastrophe. Now, the Diviners must travel to Bountiful, Nebraska, in hopes of joining forces with Sarah Beth and to stop the King of Crows and his army of the dead forever.īut as rumors of towns becoming ghost towns and the dead developing unprecedented powers begin to surface, all hope seems to be lost.
