- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There are more virtual worlds than Epic. After Saga, a new invader is making things difficult. Cindella and Ghost and her friends want to put a stop to the invasion of their world. Meanwhile, a human girl named Penelope designs weapons for her world, Edda. The last book of the trilogy is quite good, and I felt bad for Penelope. The non-violence of Erik's world was a bit annoying, however. Peace doesn't work, haha.
