I absolutely loved this book!! This book really ticked my heart and I wish that Peter Bunzl will make another book. I’m kind of upset that it’s the last book in the series but nevertheless, it was amazing. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This book was a gripping adventure but it was not as good as the others in the series and this is why I have given it 4 stars. I think you do need to read this book in series order I would recommend this for people who like adventure.

I recently read "Shadowsea" by Peter Bunzl, the fourth and final book in the "Cogheart" series, and I have to say, it's a fitting conclusion to a fantastic series. This time, Lily and Robert venture into the dangerous depths of the ocean in search of a fabled sea monster, encountering all sorts of challenges and surprises along the way. One of the things I love about the "Cogheart" series is how each book builds on the previous one, and "Shadowsea" is no exception. The underwater setting is vividly realized, with all sorts of imaginative creatures and landscapes that are sure to capture the reader's imagination. The book also ties up all the loose ends from the previous books, providing satisfying resolutions to all the major plotlines. But what really sets "Shadowsea" apart is the way it explores the themes of identity, family, and acceptance. Lily and Robert both face some tough choices in this book, and seeing them navigate their way through these challenges is both heartwarming and thought-provoking. The book also introduces some new characters who are just as interesting and memorable as the ones we met in the previous books. Overall, I would highly recommend "Shadowsea" to anyone who loves steampunk, adventure, and stories with heart. It's a worthy conclusion to a fantastic series, and a testament to Peter Bunzl's skills as both a writer and a storyteller.

A good book but doesn’t make sense if you haven’t read the other books

Just as great as the other books! I read Cogheart for school, and dove into the rest of the books. I absolutely love Dane’s character development.

I loved how it kept me asking questions right to the very end. However, I didn't expect the zombies! I would definitely recommend this exciting treasure of a book to every corner of the universe! And, if I could, I would rate it one million stars!

I thought this book was very good, I rate it 4/5. I marked it down 1 point because it was not as amazing as the other books in the series! My favourite person was Kid Wink because she was very helpful and kind. My favourite part was when help came! I would recommend!
