Victories is an excellent wrap up to a good four book series. The authors did an excellent job tying up loose ends and making clear everything that had gone on in the previous three books. I thought the previous books dragged a bit as they focus primarily the insecurities of a bunch teenagers. This book has more action and consequently was a more interesting read.This book is definitely a young adult book and is marketed as such. That is not to disparage it but a caution that it may be a bit juvenile and if that turns you off , you should be aware of that fact. Spirit White finally discovers what her magic powers are. She finds out some surprising facts about herself and her friends. Losing a friend provides the pathos of the book making victory a bittersweet success. The kids face their insecurities and tap their inner heroes in battling evil. The King Arthur aspect is finally clear in this final volume. This was a good series. For my taste, there could have been more action in the first three books but overall it was a good series. I recommend the book. Although this final book picked up the theme of the nearly-adult Spirit and her friends, I was a bit disappointed. Part of the story to this point had been the constant need of the group to defend themselves and work to find a way around difficulties. In this story, solutions seemed to present themselves as soon as a difficulty arrived. In addition, there were constant references to other parts of the story from earlier books, including characters who we were supposed to remember from a quick reference, and not from any descriptive text. A good, but not a great, finish to this well written series with yet another twist on the Arthurian legend.
What do You think about Shadow Grail #4: Victories (2014)?
A little too predictable but the series ending was at least logical and appropriate.

It was ok. Was hoping for a stronger ending. But very enjoyable end to the series.
