Overall, Gwendy‘s story for me was about creativity, construction vs. destruction, secrets, fate vs. free will, and man‘s efficacy in his own life and the world.

The Button Box was full of magic and wonder. The story should have been left here.

Magic Feather was written sans King and lacked any magic whatsoever. It was forgettable.

Final Task is dark and somber, highlighting the price paid for such a power as that contained within the box.
