Critical Reception
Henry Alford of the New York Times said, "Handler serves up his trademark blend of goofball humor and suspense... The End may not reach the comic highs of, say, The Austere Academy ...But it’s more suspenseful than the other books." The novel did get some criticism, however, particularly regarding the unsolved mysteries the novel leaves, which where introduced at the end of the fifth book, this includes the fates of the characters.
