Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Will Henry and Dr. Warthrop have encountered many horrors together—but can Will endure a monstrumological terror without his mentor?
Will Henry has been through more that seems possible for a boy of fourteen. He’s been on the brink of death on more than one occasion, he has gazed into hell—and hell has stared back at him, and known his face. But through it all, Dr. Warthrop has been at his side.
When Dr. Warthrop fears that Will’s loyalties may be shifting, he turns on Will with a fury, determined to reclaim his young apprentice’s devotion. And so Will must face one of the most horrific creatures of his monstrumology career—and he must face it alone.
Over the course of one day, Will’s life—and Pellinor Warthrop’s destiny—will lie in balance. In the terrifying depths of the Monstrumarium, they will face a monster more terrible than any they could have imagined—and their fates will be decided.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
Intense. This was perhaps the most intense of all four books in this series. Throughout the series, we have witnessed Will Henry's change from the boy who used to get sick during dissections to the haunted young man who barely blinks an eye at killing someone.
The narrative jumps back and forth between New York City and forty years after that at Warthrop's home. Bit by bit the story is told, layering out the details in a way that one does not even begin to suspect the ending. This was probably the best of all four of the Monstrumologist books.
You can purchase The Final Descent through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
