the mysterious benedict society and the riddle of ages

There were a few moments when I worried we would get distracted by the future or who liked who, but when the adventure got intense, this book reads like the rest of the series and I love it.

What makes this book so good is the fantastic plot and the focus of the characters on their mission.

Everyone is older (and a bit more teenage-ish) so that was different to get used to. Perhaps part of that was the gap in time between books 3 & 4. There is a lot of preparation for the big adventure and it was a bit slow for me.

It took me some time to get into this story.

The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict.

The Mysterious Benedict Society & the Prisoner’s Dilemma.

The Mysterious Benedict Society & the Perilous Journey.

And promptly bought books 2 & 3 along with the prequel novel.Ĭheck out my reviews of the other books in the series: When I bought the first book on a whim at a library book sale for exactly $1, I was intrigued by the series but knew almost nothing specific about it. I first discovered this series through the Read Aloud Revival Podcast. But I waited with anticipation for this last book like all you fans out there. I was a bit late joining the fan club of the Mysterious Benedict Society.

This is about a month overdue and I can’t wait to share my thoughts on the finale of this fantastic series. I am thrilled to (finally!) be bringing you my review of The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Riddle of Ages by Trenton Lee Stewart.
