This is a great last book.

So many series start out great and then get lost by the end. This one...this one keeps the reader engaged to the last page...and is somehow not quite a perfectly happy or tragic ending. Keen readers will recognize parallels to other beloved worlds and characters - which makes the story more fun, in my mind...because then you can think about what is different about the stories and why.

Throughout the series, we get to know characters, some deeper than others, whose motivations completely drive their behavior. We get to glimpse a small part of a world where magic is manifest in everything, and its workings are not even well understood by the people living in it. This ambiguity leaves space for wonder and conjecture for the reader as well as the characters.


Recommended reading from middle grades on up to adult. Some violence. Some adult themes, no graphic content.
