Die Spiderwick Geheimnisse

review 1: A satisfying resolution to the "Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles" series, and the notes in the back say that it is the end of the Spiderwick books as a whole. The authors probably made a good decision about this. The Wyrm King ends up being an allegory about ecological balance and brute force solutions, and the series overall is partly about how people are blinded by their own beliefs. That aspect is not heavy handed enough to detract from the story.I did have a problem with the slightly-rushed resolution, which glosses over the aftermath of incidents which left a bunch of big holes in the state of Florida. That and the awkward relationship story cost it a star in my rating.
review 2: I read this last book in the series more for closure than anything else. It ... moreis good that this marks the last book in the Spiderwick series (well, technically "Beyond Spiderwick") as I think it has run out of energy.The Wyrm King wraps up this follow up series of chapter books to the famous Spiderwick Chronicles. Beyond Spiderwick was an interesting way to extend the concept and the books were enjoyable but not in the "I can't wait until the next book comes out" way of some series.This one continues to explore the familial relationships that result from remarriage and step-siblings. Nick and Laurie work out there relationship and bravely take on the threat of Hydra. For their intended audience (Ages 9-12) I am sure these are fun and adventurous chapter books but to me they seemed to have lost a little of the original magic. less
