Publisher's summary

The last wing of the red cathedral is finally live, and the possibility king awaits. To reach his throne, players will have to face foes capable of bringing about the end of the world. However, nothing can compare to their creator.

The prize for defeating him is unprecedented: the ability to create a custom Ripple. A single change that will alter the very fabric of EBO forever. A power that Ned’s enemies would do anything to obtain.

As the frantic race for Frank’s chair heats up, old enemies are on the warpath and desperate choices must be made. This time, no one will make it out unscathed.

There will be much blood, but more than the previous iterations. Five times more maybe?

Even more cats, too.

Feels like a good conclusion.

There are many loose ends but I'd be satisfied if the series ended here. Ned is in a position that any future books would have a really hard time balancing. He might have screwed over the whole game world by advancing and the developers are going to have an even harder time balancing content. The story was a bit too obvious at times and lacked some of cleverness of previous books. But the conclusion was very satisfying which is the main reason I love this series. The ending does have a new shadowy Player villain(this part is the most annoying part of book) in the works that feels really random and half-hearted at best. I feel like Ned has defeated the main game long before it should have been defeated and has entered hardmode/DLC content. Hence screwing over the player base by clearing the game when they are mostly in the 20's (maybe starting hardmode?). There are many things I'd be very worried about(frank would be a massive problem and much less fun) if there was a sequel so I hope this is the final.

Excellent!

Amazing and funny across the board! Things kick off and accelerate towards a climatic finish. Secrets are revealed and a new mystery awaits.

Oh HELL yeah!

Pretty much what it says on the tin. If you're already this far into the series we all know you're going to have a listen anyway, but prepare to enjoy!

All dungeon, no adventure

We all saw it coming, but yeah, 90% of the book is boss battle raids. The end of the book wraps a whole bunch of story leading up to here. That honestly felt great and made up for most of the rest of the book. It's not terrible by far, but it felt like the worst yes. Good news is the sequel sounds promising. Looking forward to the next one.

Frank

Just gotta love Frank, and the scheme to max out. The throw back to previous missions falling into play.
