This was the best book of the series. The least amount of eye rolling. The characters seemed to actually grow a little and did not make the same mistakes and choices over and over again. 

The humor was the best of the series as well. There were genuinely funny moments that did not make me cringe. 

The ending came fast but the entire series was that way so I’m not really disappointed.

the continued hilarity of pop references and the angst of the undead combined to make this a great wrap-up to an amazing trilogy.

Fun

This was a fun book, action packed with no dull moments. Ali, Barthol, and Gavin too often reminds me of a group of accidental heros. Ali and her mishaps when trying out magic was too funny. Despite everything that they do wrong and that goes wrong the somehow managed to save the world

All's well that ends well, I suppose

I wouldn't say that I'm disappointed in the end to this trilogy, but I feel that there were avenues left unexplored. I usually tend to look for longer books in longer series because I'm a fanatic about character development. While these characters did reach their expected development, I didn't feel the process along the way. It often suddenly just happened. And I was disappointed in the final chapter. I understand that wrapping up a book can be hard, but it just felt like everything was thrown in there.

Overall, this was a unique trilogy. I am glad that I read it.

I'm overall pretty disappointed in the ending. Mostly because everything resolves in a page of exposition. With the way the action was going and the connection to everything else I almost figured there would be a set up for another book but it immediately fell flat when the book just ends. Im sad that the ending has tainted my opinions of the previous books as well.

This book was so ridiculous? I really tried to come up with a good thing about it but couldn’t think of anything. There is so much happening in this book but it all goes so quick. This is a story which could have been 2 books of 350 pages but she decided to put it all in one short book. It is all over the place. I have no idea what happend. Nothing makes sense. Also I know the writer tries to be funny but it is all just so cringe. The first two books weren’t good either but this was really bad.
