War in Hagwood The Hagwood Trilogy Book 3 edition by Robin Jarvis Children eBooks

The conclusion of this three-book fantasy is finally available. I can't recall the source, but author Robin Jarvis has disclosed that, after publishing Thorn Ogres of Hagwood years ago, circumstances with his family and personal life upset his plans to proceed directly to the continuation through two more books.
I chose not to read "Dark Waters of Hagwood," so I have only read Books One and Three. I don't regret my decision. Jarvis has some of the same problems as the great beloved Tolkien, whose Lord of the Rings trilogy, while great, is not perfect. Discriminating readers know what I mean when I say that Tolkien gets bogged down in the details of his world-building, and tends to over-write; this is also true of Jarvis, as sometimes his prose slows the impatient reader down. So I have some idea of which characters and what events are spelled out in Book Two, especially as these are carefully referred to and summarized in different places of War in Hagwood, Book Three. I don't miss Book Two, and I leave it to other readers to decide for themselves whether to read it or not.
I suspect it is because of Jarvis's highly literary, sometimes overdone prose that some readers, and critics, underestimate him. After all, though he does not share all of Tolkien's strengths -- although different fantastic denizens of the Seelies and the World of Faerie are here, there are no Tolkien-style languages for the elves or the other creatures, as Jarvis is no philologist -- Jarvis has learned well from Tolkien. The two writers share a thoughtful consideration of ethics and morality, of right and wrong, of good and evil, such as has framed fairy tales for centuries. Although Jarvis's Hagwood has none of Tolkien's hobbits, there is a settlement of little sentient, sapient beings whose function in the apocalyptic plot is very similar to the function fulfilled by the Halflings of Tolkien's beloved Shire. The instrument that can change destiny for good or for ill, is not a ring, but a key. Readers of Dark Waters of Hagwood will recall how the irreplaceable key seems lost at its suspenseful end; and War in Hagwood proceeds with this key seemingly being subjected to an evil end. But do not underestimate the author here, for the destiny of the key means that even after all seems lost, the key's magic is still intact for the one person with the gifts, and the prophecies, to see things through to the end. Tip: check out the two subterranean serpents encountered in this book, as they present a metaphor for the entire struggle for power. I recommend this book in particular and the series as a whole.

War in Hagwood The Hagwood Trilogy Book 3 edition by Robin Jarvis Children eBooks Reviews

Loved the triligy. Love Robin Jarvis books!
I think my book may be missing the last page- it ends on a hyphenated word as if "peril-" were going to say "peril-ous." "For all who lived through those peril-" how does it end???
