"Death's Mortal Plague is a spectacular closing of the Candlewicke 13 series and Milan Sergent delivers it with writing that shimmers as brightly as the magic itself. Once more the coven is faced with the impossible and once more Sergent maneuverers them deftly through a sharp plot and subplots that keep a reader fully immersed. . . . I admit I'm a little bit jealous of those who may just be beginning the series now and in the future on account of them having the opportunity to binge on Candlewicke 13 all at once. Still, the finale was definitely worth the wait and I'm so chuffed to have bought the ticket and taken the wild ride." -- Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite
