I enjoyed 1-3 and 4 was ok, but was disappointed by book 5 (Impossible Fortune)

I did see negative reviews of it. Too bad!

Hopefully the author will feel a bit more space to fall back in love with the characters now that he can switch between series
I think this is a spoiler for the very end of book 4 - wrt book 5 I think the absence of one character was more felt than I expected

Ok, so I’m trying to read TJ Klune’s Somewhere Beyond the Sea and finding I just can’t handle the section in chapter five where
Summary
Arthur is testifying on camera in front of the five bureaucrats
I don’t think this is a problem with the book or the writing but a reflection of my own anxiety/ trauma thanks to the way the world is now. Could some kind soul tell me how it goes (behind a cut for spoilers) so maybe I can read the rest of the book?

It’s been a while since I read it. I seem to have given it 3.75 stars. I described the epilogue as “sweet” but overly long.
I remember the ending being happy and nothing lastingly terrible happening, although of course there’s a stressful part with an invasive investigator. And they go in a rather separatist, magical, wish-fulfillment shut-out-the-world direction IIRC.
I hope that helps!
