I've found this series has gotten much stronger since the first book. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It's a quick read; if you're an audiobook person, the narrator is really quite lovely.

Honestly I may be a little biased by how much I enjoy this cute series, but this is the perfect finale.

We finally meet Arianwyn’s dad, and spend more time with Salle, Gran and Wyn. I really enjoyed how the hex and the quiet glyphs played out :) I still want more on the quiet glyphs but I think we get the perfect ending.

And Lull is still fun and full of mischief - I particularly like the ice imps.

This series is really fun and I highly recommend it.

A fun conclusion to the previous two books, the story still felt a bit long and overly complicated. Wyn is back in the town of Lull for Yule. The different Yule traditions were fun to read about in December. The frost phoenix sound beautiful. Wyn finds her footing in her new position and embrace the changes in her life. She struggles with a father who returns back from the war and some friendship jealousy. Wyn continues to search for new magic and to protect those she loves.

In the final book of the Apprentice Witch series, we see Arianwyn navigate the sudden reappearance of her father and the mysterious spreading of dangerous hex that we first learned about in book two, alongside her daily duties in Lull becoming more demanding and difficult due to Yule. I have always liked these books a lot and this instalment is no exception. My very favourite thing about them is how cosy a vibe they have despite the fact they`re so full of mystery and intrigue and action at the same time. I also adore Arianwyn herself, as well as her friendships with Estar and Salle- which do an excellent job of showing the complexities and nuances of friendship. The magic system and world are also fabulous- it was brilliant to learn even more about it and I don`t think I`d ever tire of finding out more and more information. Yule was also just as wonderful a time setting as I`d hoped for, and seeing all the various traditions was a total delight! I look forward to visiting whichever world James Nicol writes about next. 4.5/5
