The true masterminds behind the Cult of the Cold Flame now stand revealed-as does their purpose in handing the power of the Book of Possibilities over to Tim Hunter’s onetime friends Ellie, Fatimah, and Tyler! But can Tim save his schoolmates from making a terrible choice? Or is their Destiny already written?
Books of Magic #23 concludes what has been the absolute part of the rebooted Sandman Universe. Kat Howard, David Barnett, Tom Fowler, Craig Taillefer, Marissa Louise, Todd Klein and cover artist Kai Carpenter are all to be applauded for showing us how to tell a human story in the middle of such crazy times for both Tim and us. Each month, I read this book last because I knew I wanted save the best for last. I hope DC decides to bind this whole series with a hard cover. It is worthy. Read Full Review
Fowler and Taillefer did a great job with the artwork on this series with Marissa Louise and I'm glad I stuck with it to the end. But it did leave me with several moments across Barnett's running wondering why we didn't have this kind of series from the start. Read Full Review

The issue shows the symptoms of being an unplanned finale, with some long-simmering conflicts coming to abrupt resolutions, but Barnett and Fowler manage to send the Books of Magic off with a sense of closure, warmth, and hope. Read Full Review
Such a rush to an ending.
Well, this ended. Umm, don't have much to say. I think it went on too long. I never considered Tim's schoolmates to be his friends, so that was weird? And uhhh, yeah, it sure ended.
