A great ending for a great series. Well worth re-reading many times, as there's so much depth in this.

I'm so sad that this series is over. I know there are other books with these characters in them, but it's not the same series, not the same string of events, and that makes me sad.

What a lovely way to end the series. It makes me long to go back and re-read all of them again, and I most likely will do just that, and soon.

Nothing in the entire series was trivial. Everything interlocked over and over again. Just amazing, and truly a fun, sad, amusing, wonderfully horrible scary ride.

That I must ride over and over again.

An incredible series. Nothing could top the penultimate volume but this was a nice wrap up of some storylines.
