Wonderful close to the trilogy
Wow! What a great end to the trilogy. I love Nivram, the Diamonds and the children who star in these books. Troy really adds to the world and develops the characters and magic with each book. While I love the two books that precede this one, there are elements in The Great Forest that might make it my favorite. There are some scary scenes. Vicky and Susan have a gripping adventure traveling with Prince Paul. I thought their chapters were full of atmosphere and suspense, with a couple of scenes making me worried for the characters! However, it’s the twins, Cathy and Alan, and their journey through the Great Forest that I loved best. Exciting, magical, frightening and emotional. I especially loved Dill and his friends. I hope there will be future books in this world and we will see more of the animals! I was glad the King of the Diamonds was in this book a bit more than the others. I love him so much. When is he getting his spin off series?
