I feel like I wanted to give this book about 2.5 stars. The story was pretty good and I'm glad to see closure with the relationship between Stacey and Jacob, because it was really open in the last book, Red Is For Remembrance. I'm just curious as to why the last book is a graphic novel. The first four were in traditional novel form and the last is a graphic novel. I don't understand why the format would be changed for just one book. Don't get me wrong, I love graphic novels, they can be really great. Looking at this a graphic novel, I've read better ones and ones with better artwork as well. Not that it wasn't good, the personalities of the characters came through fairly well. I just wasn't as impressed as I could have been. I am glad there was closure in the series. If you haven't checked out the other books, you really should, those ones I love. My personal favorite was the third book, Silver Is For Secrets. Still, if you read the first four check this one out to get closure on the series. Could have been better, but it was a quick read and was worth the time to read it.

Ehh, it was too sexually charged for me and felt like I was picking up in the middle of a story (which It was but I’ve picked up in the middle of series before but it wasn’t so awkward). I abandoned it for a Russian sci-fi classic which was a better use of my time.

I'm definitely not the target demographic of this graphic novel. A young girl interested in crystals and casting spells might give it three stars but for me, 1.5
I bought this in my local thrift store and read it because I enjoyed the last graphic novel I read so much. Anyway, pass on this one if you're not the target demographic I just described.

Not a five star because it isn't that long and is a graphic novel. I am totally okay with that, but it was only a hundred pages.

I think she shouldn't have made this a graphic novel. Give it a little more plot, and it could be a great actual book. Half of it was just rehashing the first four books anyway, barely any was the new plot.

Either I missed one of the BiFN books somewhere along the way or I completely blocked the plot of one from memory. Even with that, I still adored BifB. The artwork is gorgeous. The story works for the format and I'm going to have to hunt this one down at the store and buy it soon.

I don't even know.
This book shouldn't even exist. It did nothing except tie everything up all pretty with no real substance. Honestly, I felt like I was reading an Archie comic. Like the tales of Betty & Veronica. And these characters, no way in hell are they college students. They are twelve...seriously.
Over half of this book was information we already knew, just now it was accompanied by horrible artwork. I did giggle at the 'Presenting Tim' page...oh the cowboy hat. And is it weird that I kind of want a pizza place where they serve you in a jail cell? Kind of a cool idea.
To call this part of the series is ridiculous. Overall, all of this information could have been added to the last book in a short chapter...like an epilogue or something. But to make it an entire "book" was pointless.
