Shortly after book three . . .
Gnag the Nameless knows the Wingfeathers are in the Green Hollows . . . and he will stop at nothing to get them. Makng a stand against his armies, the Hollish muster for a desperate defense.
Across the sea, Artham and others look to reclaim Dugtown from the Fangs. But treachery abounds, and trust is short.
In the ensuing battles, lives will be lost, hope will hang by a thread, and events nobody could have foreseen will shake to the core. Has the Maker abandoned the Wingfeathers? Who will prevail?

The Wingfeather Saga concludes in a most satisfying fashion. The longest book by far (almost 500 pages), there is a lot to tie up, but Peterson does it well (though some parts felt rushed). It was powerful and moving. Suspenseful and satisfying.
Looking at the series as a whole, the author does a good job presenting key principles/lessons of Christianity in a way that is all at once real, raw, hard, beautiful, and painful. And he does so without being preachy, moralistic, or judgmental. Overall, most impressive.
