Good, but not as good as I hoped.

Would you listen to The Council of Mirrors again? Why?

Yes, I'll listen again because it's the end of the series.

What did you like best about this story?

It wrapped up the series-long story.

Have you listened to any of L. J. Ganser’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I've listened to the entire Sisters Grimm series. L. J. Ganser did as well with this book as he has with the entire series. He's no Jim Dale (Harry Potter US version, Petter and the Starcatchers, etc.), but then, nobody is. His performance brings the story to life and makes for a fun listen on road trips.

Any additional comments?

This series is, to me, one book too long. The last book and this one should have been condensed into a single book, and then the series would have been just right. These last two books just seemed to drag compared with the others, but overall, the series is fun, imaginative, and very much worth listening to / reading, especially if you have children between 8 and 15 to enjoy it with. I'm in my 40's, and I still enjoyed it a lot. Each book has its own story that keeps them from being "more of the same" (for the most part), but there is a deeper story line running throughout the series that makes you want to keep going with the next book. I said above that the series is one book too long because the last two books depart from this pattern, and they both really only deal with the overall series story line, so they rely heavily on each other to tell the story. The others can be enjoyed by themselves.The series-long story is full of twists and turns, taking the listener on a ride that is fun and sometimes surprising. Overall, I recommend it to lovers of clean, entertaining stories that encourage and expand the imagination.

Continuing the Magic!

The author sustains the suspense and charm through this ninth and final book in the series. What a delightful escape!

Favorite book ever!!!

This was my favorite book of the series. But there is something I don’t like about Sabrina: she treated her sister like a baby! It doesn’t take away the help & love Sabrina gave to Daphine. I love this book because it reminds me of my sisters and I.

Shameless Adult

This series was awesome!! I listened to this from beginning to end. I couldn't stop listening. Can't wait for my grandchildren to experience this series. Loved the ending.
