Wonderful ending to the series!

Wonderful ending to the series! This book had a unique plot and amazingly developed characters. I’m sad that it’s over and I hope someday this series is re-visited in a new or continued world. The quests these students were sent on were pretty dangerous for young “children” (I feel like they are all so mature and advanced for their ages!) and they always seemed to triumph when they worked together, though there have been some losses along the way…

A delightful conclusion to the series!

"The Quest for the Cursed Mirrors" by Marie-Hélène Lebeault is a delightful conclusion to the Defenders of the Realm series. With captivating writing and Derek Stephen Brown's stellar narration, this magical adventure is both thrilling and heartwarming. Dive into a world of enchantment and bravery—it's a journey you won't want to miss!

I love this story!

It shows how age differences don't always make sense. Maturity is based on life experiences, the events you have overcome and the problems you have solved. I liked how the author presented this, how she repeatedly portrayed the emotions and thoughts of the characters and gave them space. I love how this story develops and how the challenges are overcome together with a lot of cooperation.

Great series

This was a super thrilling end to the series. It has all the twist and turns and the mystery and it is just crazy to think that these mirrors can do this and we finally figure out who this sorcerer is and why he is doing this, and the kids which are not kids anymore are working with a friend of theirs who is the new queen when all of a sudden she turns on them and starts working with the sorcerer.
This is a pretty great series. I would definitely recommend it to young adults. It’s got a great fantasy plot line lots of adventure and totally fits in with that teenage attitude. This is a good family-friendly book.
