\"\"<\/a>Gwen Frost is finishing up one last assignment before winter break ends: she and her friends Daphne and Carson are touring a museum looking at magical artifacts important from the wars against Loki and his Reapers of Chaos, as are lots of other kids in her class.

This book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger per se, but a major plot point is introduced in the end, so we’ll have to read the next book to find out what happens. That said, it didn’t bother me. You saw this coming from the start of the book, and the book does end on several positive notes, with important threads being tied up.
