For a concluding book, Spirit Animals: The Burning Tide was a disappointment. My son who loves the series was caught up in the action of it and missed the poor writing and editing, but even he said it didn't go back and forth enough, so he lost track of characters throughout.
Minor Spoiler Alert: As for the negative comment regarding the writing and/or editing, it just seemed the book was late for deadline and so sloppily finished. A spirit animal cannot be tending to one character in active state when two paragraphs before it was put into passive state. If magnatism at the pole was enough to confuse an airborn Great Beast, then how could regular birds fly directly to target until thwarted by steaming glaciers? These are two examples (I can think of three more off the top of my head) where inconsistencies distracted from the story.
I understand these are novels for young readers, but the rest of the series was much tighter and respected the readers much more.
