Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This was an extremely disappointing ending to the trilogy. Dekker (squared) had a lot they could of taken these books, but decided to write a book series void of character development, and having no life of its own. It's one thing to write a new children's series, quite another when both authors are claiming it's the next big hit. And this is where will get into spoilers. The most discouraging thing about this series is the lack of good theology. Now, I'm not looking for a JI Packer, or a full systematic theology in a children's series that is bringing out analogies, and mixing it with fantasy. But when you end the series and name the great teacher "Justin", and state that the main issue everyone has is fear, and if we just overcome fear with love, that's the purpose of life, my eyes nearly roll out of my head. Not only isn't it cliche, but it's not the gospel. The nail in the coffin for me is that Millie completely forgets who the great teacher is, and she comes to the conclusion that although she can't remember who taught her '"love casts out fear" that in the end it doesn't matter.. Oh boy. This is the "Love wins" theology that has been rampant. Millie has no need to be forgiven of sins, nor does her mother who STOLE Millie from her REAL mother, who was also Rebecca all along? So was her mom in FIGS all along? Gosh... This book has so loose ends and it all comes down to love, and don't judge anyone for being wicked. The sad part is most Christian parents will buy this book for their kids and wont allow them to read Harry Potter, when really... Harry potter is better for your soul then this series. It has better character development, a better story, and you could see parallels to Christ throughout the series, and the author isn't even Christian.
