Booklist Review

In the much-anticipated finale to the Diviners quartet, the Diviners are scattered to the wind, and a foul wind it is. The fetid stink comes from the King of Crows' ever-growing Army of the Dead. Labeled anarchists by the U.S. government, the teens get out of New York City and head to Bountiful, Nebraska, to learn how to defeat the King of Crows. En route, the group gets separated, with Theta, Evie, Isaiah, and Sam traveling undercover with a circus; Memphis, Bill, and Henry at the mercy of the Mississippi River; and Ling and Jericho riding with an all-female orchestra on the Chitlin' Circuit. Their divided status widens the scope of Bray's ambitious ghost story, which dredges up the uglier side of U.S. history and condemns ideas of white supremacy and inequality. But the myriad ghosts also obscure the primary narrative and bog down its pacing. Nevertheless, Bray's devoted readers will eagerly embark on this final journey, where reckoning with the past and writing one's own future offer hope for a better tomorrow.HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Readers have been hungering for this conclusion to Bray's best-selling series, like famished ghosts. With pointy teeth. You've been warned.
