Agatha really should have exited the series after the first book because the last two books in the series seemed to struggle to find storylines that fit her character.
I did still really enjoy Simon and Baz and reading about how they navigated their relationship and their anxieties. This story really delivers on the angst and made me feel so much for the characters.
The Penelope and Shepard subplot was also fun.

Simon, Baz, Penny, Agatha, Shepard and Niamh are wonderful and feel really sensitive and real and I love how their relationships are built and developed so they feel like they could really exist in the real world.
Rainbow Rowell, well done - this was spectacular!

I love Shepard. Just had to say this.
I love any and all scenes with Baz's family, because I love Baz and I love Fiona and I kinda like Daphne (maybe? jury's still out) and like Baz's half-siblings and I don't really like Baz's dad because he's homophobic but I guess he's just there. It's all so realistic (as much as it can be , with magic and vampires, I suppose).
I'm probably going to start using brackets a lot more often now, thans to Rainbow Rowell's writing style. (It's already kicking in.)
I like how the ending is sorta open, with some questions unanswered. It gives good food for thought.
It was an awesome wrap-up, though the main plot was a bit flat.
I'll miss the World of Mages. Goodbye, my friends.

Please look up warnings for this book if necessary! I likely missed a few (if not many) tags!ajsterkel's review against another edition

I'm scared of germs. If you're normal, maybe the biting is fine. Don't let it stop you from reading the book. I enjoyed this series. I'm sad it's over.

Honestly, this book has so many problems that the only reason that it’s getting three stars instead of two and a half is that I was already attached to the characters.
