About this audiobook
Whit and Wisty Allgood have finally triumphed over the evil that has long overshadowed their world with their defeat of The One Who Is The One. Now they move on to their next mission: becoming members of a governing Council that will return the Overworld to a place of creativity, magic, and freedom from persecution.
But it isn't long before the city is threatened from inside and out. The adults on the Council want to control the use of magic in the city, and a fearsome Wizard King threatens war. As Wisty begins a new relationship with an intense and mysterious boy and the pressures of leading the city bear down on them, Whit and Wisty find themselves growing apart. Will they be able to come together to fight the mounting threats that could return their world to the hands of a tyrant?
James Patterson delivers what the fans have been asking for – the story of what happens next – with an epic fourth installment about the heroic teen witch and wizard that have captured our imaginations.
A Hachette Audio production.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really liked this one. I was surprised by how everything fit together and liked how it ended.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Whit and Wisty are experiencing problems with a new authority. I have read the other novels in this series, and I believe that the writing is getting better. It is definitely a quick read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I was surprised at how easily I was able to get back into this story and this world, considering how long it's been since I read the first three. I actually thought we were done with Whit and Wisty after the 3rd book so I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was more to the story. At the same time, I was worried that it would feel like the story was being dragged out too much and I'm happy to say I did not get that feeling from this book and am in fact looking forward to book five with VERY little apprehension. This book takes a look at how the government changed after taking down "The One" and it's not always pretty. We get to see a lot of heartbreak and I did shed tears, but we end with promise of better days to come. Great book!

The Fire was the final book in the original Witch & Wizard trilogy. It wrapped up things nicely. So, going into this book, Whit & Wisty and the entire city are all celebrating the end of the evil dictator The One. But, of course things can't stay happy or there wouldn't be a story. There is a new threat, the Wizard King on the mountain. And there is a new government. A council made up of 17 men & women and 17 kids including Wisty & Whit. The head of the council, General Bloom is also a problem. He wants to control things and takes his newfound power too far. The Wizard King has cut off the city's water supply and children have been vanishing from the city. Whit takes off on a peaceful mission to the mountain to negotiate with the Wizard King. And Wisty chooses to stay behind with a mysterious wizard named Heath.
I enjoyed this book. It seemed totally separate from the original trilogy, with new locations and characters popping up that we never heard of before. But, it is another exciting adventure for Whit & Wisty. She is a difficult character to like because she is so hot-headed and always flying off the handle (not a good thing when you can't control your magic and you start fires). But I get her. She seems to fall really fast for this new wizard (Heath) without too much hesitation considering she doesn't really know him. But I guess that's young love in the wizard world. ;) Whit is likable but I wish his powers were stronger. I liked the conflict between the siblings and that they learn they are stronger together.
There were some fun twists towards the end and one especially that I didn't see coming (though some of you may). A fun, very quick read. Overall another good book in the series and great for middle school students.
Recommended to:
Young adults and middle school students. There is magic and adventure, a little romance and a strong brother/sister bond.
