The Final Trial: Royal Guide to Monster Slaying, Book 4 | Kelley Armstrong
3 posts | 3 read
Rowan embarks on an expedition to prove once and for all that she is the rightful royal monster hunter, in the fourth and final book in this fantastical series by New York Times–bestselling author, Kelley Armstrong. The time has come! After discovering the true reason for the monster migration, Rowan is on an expedition to ultimately prove that she is worthy of the ebony monster-slaying sword on her back. She and her twin brother, Rhydd, their friends Dain and Alianor, as well as some other trusted advisors — and the ever-growing group of monstrous companions — are on a mission to help protect the dragon living in their homeland and are travelling to kingdoms beyond to make their case. But not everyone agrees that people can live peacefully alongside monsters, especially when new terrifying creatures appear. It will take everything Rowan has to fight off threats of all kinds, from both monsters and people. It won’t be easy, but if she succeeds, she will become Royal Monster Hunter at long last.

This series gets better as Rowan, the Royal Monster Hunter-elect, gains more experience. She‘s become a little less impulsive and the adventures become more high stakes for her and her companions. Armstrong does a good job of explaining concepts and words that may be new to her MG audience, but some of the lessons, particularly morality ones, are clumsy and heavy-handed. I wanted to push Rowan off her soapbox a time or two.

I liked this 4th and final book in the middle grade series, A Royal Guide to Monster Slaying, by Kelley Armstrong. The series, about how a princess with an affinity to wild creatures strives to become the “Royal Monster Hunter“ for her kingdom, is charming and enjoyable.

The final installment in A Royal Guide to Monster Slaying series was a great ending to the pentology. (Is there such a word? 5-book series.. think on it.) We met number of new "monsters" and came to see that humans can be just as monstrous as they are. #54-2022
