Synopsis

Celestial beings and human witches clash for the future of the human and fairy worlds in Paul Cornell's Last Stand in Lychford.

There are changes in the air, both in Lychford and in the land of fairy.

The magical protections previously employed by the town are gone, and the forces of darkness are closing in – both figuratively and literally.

Can Autumn and Lizzie save their community, and... well, the world...?

Exploding fairies, the architect of the universe and a celestial bureaucratic blunder make this a satisfying conclusion to the ever-popular Witches of Lychford series.

War. Well, we all know that big-ass war can come to even the most out-of-the-way small towns, but I'm sure that all these folks didn't count on war with Fae and Angels. I mean, the locals aren't really equipped for this kind of shit. A handful of witches and enthusiastic amateurs kinda makes this a r......more

I loved the set-up and the sense of threat, I thought the climax with the boss was a bit contrived, but there is - as always - much to love about this final Lychford novella.
