This is a great series. Good ending and the way I wanted it to end.

I can't believe the series is over! *sobs* I can't believe this is the last one! And it was an awesome one!

One thing I'm happy about is (SPOILER WARNING!) certain people got together in the end, guess who? (SPOILER ENDED!)

There's just one thing with the series that I can't stand. Why do they gotta make the food sound so good? I always want some of whatever they're eating, and I can't have some because no one knows how to make some. *sadness*

Anyway, yeah. Awesome book, I hope that Alison Croggon writes another series soon.

I am so very sad that the Pellinor series has come to a close, but at the same time I think Croggon did it exactly right. A fantastic fantasy series.

My favorite book of the series and I finished it faster than the others. I liked reading both from Maerad's and Hem's point of view, in a way that was different from the other books where you had only one of them the entire book. I also liked how Maerad's and Cadvan's relationship turned out. I wish we would have seen more romance but it was so cute to read about them in the epilouge. So, I really liked this book even though I would have loved to see more of Maerad and Cadvan love :) ( oh yeah, and I also really liked Saliman and Hekibel in this book).

This entire series is a five star for me. While I am not normally a fan of the 'she loses her powers in the end' trope, I feel like it fit within the narrative here and made sense, whereas in other books it sometimes feels tacked on for the sake of it. I was very happy with the conclusion to each of the characters. Alison Croggon did something very special with this series.
I cannot wait to reread these books.
