The joyous and suspenseful conclusion of The Secrets of Ormdale.

Now that Edith and her friends have everything they need to ransom Simon from captivity, hopes are high for a brighter future for both the people and dragons of Ormdale.

But then a surprising invitation from Edith's past leads her to a clue to the mysterious nemesis that threatens her family's legacy, and news reaches her that the sinister Dr Farley is at large. And Edith begins to wonder if the most potent threat to her happiness may be much closer to home.

In this last chapter of their story, Edith and her friends, family, and allies must come together to free themselves from the final secrets of Ormdale and determine the future of England's dragon keepers—and their extraordinary dragons.

This whole series was one I knew would be a favorite as soon as I finished the first book "Wormwood Abbey". Kudos to Christina Baehr! I have not read anything like it - not merely plot-wise, but also in character development and in twists! Please keep writing!

I LOVED the first few books. The first one was definitely the best. But book five was disappointing, and, frankly, a bit of a slog. It wandered around without a definite end in sight, though it did wrap up multiple plot points, some in such an unexpected way that it seemed like the author changed their mind about some things at the last minute.

Besides being much longer than the previous installments, it was very sparse on dragons. It felt more like fan fiction than an actual finale. Maybe it should have been broken up into multiple books?

I’m not sure how to feel about how the author approaches Judaism. It seems like a very Christianized view of it. I do appreciate how the story calls out some antisemitic tropes. Also regarding Christianity, I didn’t mind the offhand Scripture references in the first couple of books (the main character is a minister’s daughter after all), but the last couple of books had some very preachy parts, despite the heroine engaging in what would have been considered inappropriate behavior at the time with her beau. It wasn’t marketed as a Christian book, so that caught me off guard, and seemed out of place.

I feel disappointed because the first books were so good. I’m not sure if this was a rush to conclude everything, the author trying to cover too much material, a failure in editing, or what, but I wouldn’t mind reading a future book set in Ormdale in the same vein as the first - with more dragons.

A meandering conclusion
