Publisher Description
In this thrilling conclusion to Alice's adventures in The Forbidden Library she must lead her band of friends, magical beings, and creatures against the collected might of the Old Readers—perfect for fans of Story Thieves, Inkheart, Coraline, and Harry Potter.
When Alice defeated her uncle Geryon and declared war on the totalitarian ways of the Old Readers, she knew she would have a hard fight ahead. What she didn't anticipate was the ruthlessness of the Old Reader—who can control magic and enter worlds through books. All the creatures she promised to liberate and protect are being threatened, and slowly all of Alice's defenses are being worn away. So when Ending (the giant cat-like creature who guards the magical labyrinth in Geryon's library) hints at a dangerous final solution, Alice jumps at the chance, no matter the cost to her life. She and her friends—a fire sprite, Ashes the cat, and the other apprentice Readers she met during her previous adventures—go on a quest to free the one creature possibly strong enough to overturn the Old Readers once and for all.
But before it’s all over, Alice will be betrayed, her true identity will be revealed, and she’ll have to be willing to give up the person she loves the most.
This is beautifully written, classic, bold historical fantasy—brave, bloody, action-packed and adventurous—with a girl at the center.

So good!😍 I’m sad to finish it!
I have just finished a different series that I never thought could be topped, but then I saw the first book and I thought “hey, it’s worth a try!” And boy was I right! I never thought I could love a series and annoy my older brother with it as much as this series! I always ask him, “now we’re gonna play a game, I’m a reader...” and at that point he has already walked out of my room saying, “NOPE!” And I love it!
On another note, I have always loved reading. I spent hours late at night reading these books. I wanted to be a reader at some points, I wanted to be a laberenthene (I forgot how to spell it) at other points.
Warning! If you haven’t read to the end of this book don’t go forward! There contains spoilers!
Then at other points I wanted to be an Alice-type hybrid. That would be very cool. Though I don’t know how I would explain that I could warp space itself to my parents. That would take Alice level thinking. AKA, not my level.
Anyways, I loved this book, no, this whole series so much! I wish there was more, but there is no more that I could ask for. There was a great ending and everything wrapped itself up.
But, I could ask for something!

Want
A
Movie!
I would love a movie of this! I love acting so I had to add that. Maybe a Disney movie too! Then it could be on Disney+
Ya.. I’m done talking now. Thanks to anyone who took the five whole minutes to read this whole thing! I just had a lot to say about this series... ok, maybe not all about this series. But most of it was about the books! NOW I’m officially done reviewing.
