"The thing about illegally breeding fire-breathing possums is that you gotta keep a bucket of water handy."

*Those fools! Fire-breathing possums are greasy; water will only feed the flames! Oh, if only I could tell them of my empire...*

I'm also curious about the 4th one. I can't remember if I read and didn't like, or if I never read it because it was already perfect as a trilogy. Suspect it was bad like the 4th Artemis Fowl was bad and I erased it from my memory.

I vaguely remember reading it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good enough to really stick in my memory. Felt kind of fanfiction-like, in that it was nice to see more of the characters but it didn't really have a strong connection to the main trilogy.

This suddenly reminded me that I never read the fourth and fifth books of Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy. Not sure if worth since the trilogy ended very well.

Right after I wrote this I realized there is also a sixth book. That's a lot of books to be disappointed in.

Haha, wow, I didn't know either! I did read Clariel, and I liked a lot about it, even though I felt it didn't work overall, there were some cool ideas. (Misc: it's inextricably linked in my mind with So Much For That (Lionel Shriver) because I was reading both around the same time, and both main characters worked metal.)

Didn't know there were another two! I enjoyed the trilogy overall but I didn't like Sabriel, so for me it's a two-book trilogy plus The Creature In The Case (I loved that!). xD I'm not super attached to the Old Kingdom series so I guess I might seek out books 5 and 6 sometime.
