And if they can't find Reader show more Zero before the book is closed, there won't be a happily ever after again. show lessTags

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Pax Arcana novels of which this is the fifth. I also enjoyed this one which leaves the series at a tidy stopping point. While it can continue, it feels like it has reached a good stopping point.
The whole gang is back and absolutely needed as they race to stop the end of the world as we know it. Magic is manifesting in new and unpleasant ways, uniting the Round Table of werewolves with the Knights Templar in order to keep the magic from spreading. Naturally John Charming is in the thick of things. But just who is the bad guy responsible for all the nastiness?
You must have read earlier books in the series to enjoy this one. That said, if you have read them and liked them, I think you'll like this one, too.

Another very nice installment in the Pax Arcana books. I'm currently up-to-date with the books but I didn't care for the one short story I read so I probably won't read them. John Charming is once again caught between the Knights and the paranormal types, e.g., werewolves, but he seems to manage them pretty well in the end. This book also contained many of his friends, so very nice.

- Faustus is gone. Regard his hellish fall,
Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise
Only to wonder at unlawful things,
Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits,
To practise more than heavenly power permits.

First to possess his books, for without them
He's but a sot, as I am, nor hath not
One spirit to command: they all do hate him
As rootedly as I. Burn but his books.
