Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. In this ninth and final volume of Smith's award-winning Bone series, Thorn and her loyal friends must defeat not only the evil Briar Rose but also free the land and its inhabitants from the Locust spirit. Beaten by tyrant Tarsil's soldiers, Thorn and faithful Fone Bone are locked in the dungeon, as Briar Rose and her army storm the castle. Spurred on by a recurring dream, Thorn is determined to break free and find the Crown of Horns, which will destroy the nightmare spirit known as the Locust but may also kill Thorn herself. The Locust was imprisoned within the legendary dragon queen Mim, whose body was encased in stone but who now threatens to break free. With the help of Gran'ma Ben and Fone Bone's cousins, Smiley and Phoney, Thorn is able to escape and make her way to Tanen Gard, the dragon burial ground, where she hopes to find the Crown of Horns. Smith expertly combines all the best elements of fantasy epics like Lord of the Rings—a plucky hero(ine), all manner of creatures and a kingdom rich in mythological history—with enough humor to appeal to readers young and old. (Feb.)

From Booklist
The colorization effort of Smith’s epic comic Bone reaches its culmination with this final volume in the nine-book series. There really aren’t any superlatives left to lay at Smith’s feet for his timeless achievement, but now that the entire work is available in gorgeously rendered color, it is an even more attractive offering. The story concludes Fone Bone’s saga in the Valley with a full-scale battle and a touching farewell to his friends Thorn and Gran’ma Ben. There may be a few purists who will liken this to Ted Turner colorizing classic films or George Lucas’ digital fiddling with the Star Wars franchise, but they’ll be a tiny minority. Even though the black-and-white artwork of the originals was spectacular in its own right, the color versions offer so much more to look at in every panel, bringing many of the details that might have gone unnoticed to the forefront without losing any of the subtlety of Smith’s impeccable line work and juxtapositions of humor and drama. A masterful rendering now fully ready for a whole new generation of readers. Grades 6-12. --Ian Chipman --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
