Review “Blackwood offers a story of enchanting texture and depth, and series fans will be elated to have another outing with the sweetly sardonic hero, whose conscience is almost as troublesome as his grasp of spells. Fans of Cornelia Funke should add this to their stacks.” (ALA Booklist)“A solid conclusion to a trilogy...threaded with proper amounts of heroism, humor and ingenious twists of character.” (Kirkus Reviews)“Blackwood keeps an astonishing number of balls in the air for this third book, exploiting facets of her versatile magical world by means of multiple alliances, complex plans of attack, and sticky wizardly puzzles to solve. It’s the puzzles within Jinx himself, however, that give the tale its heart.” (Horn Book Magazine)“The author’s multifaceted invention and sprawling, brawling, well-delineated cast combine forces for a tight, cohesive conclusion.” (Horn Book Magazine)Praise for JINX’S MAGIC: “This series deserves a permanent place in the children’s fantasy pantheon, with Narnia and Earthsea.” (Booklist (starred review))Praise for JINX’S MAGIC: “The unique setting, smart pace, likable characters, and sprightly voice hold the narrative together while keeping Jinx’s fans eager for more.” (The Horn Book)Praise for JINX’S MAGIC: “As Blackwood extends Jinx’s experiences to other lands, she adds layers of complexity that hint at future developments. The next installment can’t come along soon enough.” (School Library Journal)Praise for JINX: “In this expertly paced, beautifully written fantasy, Blackwood elevates familiar fantasy elements with exquisitely credible characters who inhabit a world filled with well-drawn magic and whimsy.” (Booklist (starred review))Prasie for JINX: “Blackwood fills her tale with drama and delightfully funny dialogue.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))Praise for JINX: “Readers will thrill to journey with Jinx.” (School Library Journal (starred review))Praise for JINX: “[Blackwood] puts her central three [characters] through a string of suspenseful, scary situations before delivering a properly balanced closing set of resolutions, revelations and road signs to future episodes.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))Praise for JINX: “Flowing dialogue, easy interactions between the characters, a mixed Diana Wynne Jones/Lloyd Alexander vibe, and a setting both familiar and original make the novel immediately inviting and compelling.” (The Horn Book)Praise for JINX: “Complex characters, compelling fun, a marvelously dastardly villain, all steeped in a tasty stew of mystery and magic. What more could a reader ask for?” (Bruce Coville)Praise for JINX: “JINX is filled with real magic, not just the magic young Jinx learns, but the magic of a great book: memorable, engaging characters,humor that’s actually funny, an original, fantastic world, and real human feelings. I can’t wait for the next one.” (John Stephen, NYT bestselling author of THE EMERALD ATLAS)
From the Back Cover
Sometimes you have to step off the path to get where you're going. In the Urwald, that could lead to being eaten. But Jinx has to do something, and fast: the forest is under attack, and its magic is fading.
Three kings have claimed the Urwald's land. Their armies are closing in on the forest's borders. Jinx knows the Urwald belongs to no one but itself: the people, trees, and monsters who inhabit it. Can he convince all of them to work together with the wizards and witches to save their homeland?
Jinx also needs to save Simon, and so must travel into the dangerous icy depths beneath the Glass Mountains until he reaches the nadir of things—a spot as perilous as it is powerful. Only if Jinx can summon enough of his magic—the bright fire within him—will he be able to rescue Simon, defeat the Bonemaster, unite the Urwald, and fight off the invaders. He is the Urwald's only hope.
In this action-packed conclusion to the acclaimed Jinx trilogy, Sage Blackwood spins an epic tale about good and evil, fire and ice, magic and knowledge, and becoming who you are meant to be.

Summon, Search, Rescue, Negotiate, Unite, Defeat, Prevail - A Tall Order for Jinx's Finale By Pop Bop Some wizard apprentice books are very matter of fact and the style is straightforward and almost pedantic. Some, especially for younger readers, are more fantastical and the style of the magic is a bit dreamier and vaguer, (or, they are played for laughs). Some others, even for younger readers, are written to a much higher level in terms of complexity, vocabulary, and "literary" style. "Jinx's Fire" is written in a sort of in-between fashion. It can be so spare and abrupt that it feels almost casual or tossed off; yet sometimes a passage is striking and memorable, and calls up the feelings readers got from Book One. From chapter to chapter, and even page to page, you're never quite sure which style your going to get.That said, there are still many more grace notes, arresting details, and knowing observations slipped into the tale than is usual for this kind of book, and that adds a bit of unexpected weight to the undertaking. I favored, and still prefer, the first book in this trilogy. It featured a younger Jinx who was just learning about magic and the forest, and it was a great pleasure to meet the many and varied supporting characters. There was also a deep sense of wonder, and suspense surrounding the type of story Jinx would have. This is the third and final book in the series. We've gone from an innocent, befuddled wizard's apprentice to a hero who raises armies and negotiates treaties. Clearly, Jinx is older and wiser and he's figured out, along with the reader, how things work and what must be done. And now he has grownup things to do.As a consequence the book is a wrap up and it feels like it. It is thorough and workmanlike and checks off all of the loose ends. Some of it is rushed, and some of it is pretty thin. This may just be the fate of third, (or seventh or twelfth), books. Packing your suitcase to go home from vacation is never as much fun, or any fun, compared to packing to leave on vacation.So, if you've followed the story this far you pretty much have to read this volume, if only to secure closure. If you're new to Jinx's saga it seems to me that this is not the place to begin.Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

By Talvi Jinx's Fire brings this wonderful children's fantasy series to a satisfying conclusion, tying up loose threads but avoiding a saccharine pat ending. And truly, that has been where this series has excelled: highest writing standards, interesting and complex plot, and an overall arc that is well thought out and makes great use of three books. I would compare this to Harry Potter not because it is a boy in a fantasy setting but because this is children's literature that doesn't talk down to kids yet is infinitely rewarding for adult readers as well. It will stand the test of time.Story: Jinx has rescued Sophie but now he has a bigger challenge: finding Simon and rescuing him before his spirit is used up by the Bonemaster. But the fourteen year old also has to save the Urwald from his old friend Reven - who is now so obsessed with regaining his kingdom that he has declared war against two other kingdoms and plans to destroy the forest in the process. Unfortunately for Jinx, the longer Simon is imprisoned, the more power is sapped from the Urwald. He may not have enough power left to save his friends, forest, and self.The story continues its unique blend of "Jinx in Wonderland" - a world where everyone is mad except for our young hero. Author Blackwood is always winking slyly in the background, littering the story with amusing bon mots but tempering the humor with pathos and insight. That combination makes for a story that is grounded but never crushing. Jinx's character isn't an optimist and the despairing nature of his situation could have been daunting otherwise.I really appreciated how smoothly yet intelligently the various threads from the previous two books began to tie together in Jinx's Fire. Surprisingly, it really did all make sense - from the werewolves to Jinx's own family. And yet - it didn't feel like a deus ex machina - few of the solutions were easy or pat.I really agree that this series should be a classic - it has all the wit, charm, humor, and nuanced writing that make for a great story. I'm very glad to have found this series and read all three. It is a treasure to hand down to my daughter. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

A Splendid End to a Splendid Trilogy By FantasyGirl I felt like a little kid again as I raced down the stairs the minute the doorbell rang, for I knew it was Jinx’s Fire being delivered to my doorstep! I savored the cover and investigated the chapter headings, so excited to be at long last reading Jinx’s final adventure.I had no idea what to expect and that is one of the many elements I like about this trilogy…you never quite know where the plot is going to twist and turn. This installment was busy as many different happenings were going on. Jinx is in the midst of uniting the Urwald to fight the impending armies threatening the land whilst figuring out a way to rescue Simon and rid the Bonemaster without killing anyone else in the process. Sophie, Elfwyn, Wendell, and the others work alongside him (most of the time…).While I like many of the characters, Jinx has to be my favorite. He is not your typical hero. He is not big and strong, is rather sassy and not at all tactful (they are many humorous moments when the author plays on this fact) but yet in his own rough way, he cares deeply for his friends and is stronger in other ways than just physical stature. I liked the good vs evil theme throughout the book as the characters struggle to find the fine line between evil and good. There is also aspects of war and how that should be handled, which was another interesting aspect of the story. The ending was very good and Urwaldish (if that makes any sense). I do not remember how I stumbled across these books, but I am so glad I did!
