A great conclusion to the trilogy! When I started the first book, I was worried that there were 86 chapters, because I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it. When I saw that this book had 92 chapters, I was overjoyed because I couldn't bear to part with my favourite characters too quickly.
Also quick warning to those who venture into the spoiler tags prior to reading the book: there's smut, which I wasn't expecting because the past 2 books didn't have any. I should've expected it, really. I just skimmed through them (I'm sex-repulsed) djjdjd. 16 years avoiding smut books and this one isn't one but still broke my streak all the same /lh
I love Shepard. Just had to say this.
I love any and all scenes with Baz's family, because I love Baz and I love Fiona and I kinda like Daphne (maybe? jury's still out) and like Baz's half-siblings and I don't really like Baz's dad because he's homophobic but I guess he's just there. It's all so realistic (as much as it can be , with magic and vampires, I suppose).
I'm probably going to start using brackets a lot more often now, thans to Rainbow Rowell's writing style. (It's already kicking in.)
I like how the ending is sorta open, with some questions unanswered. It gives good food for thought.(Like, why did Let it all out make Simon invincible to magic?? Does he have in-built defence? And did Lucy put her rosebus boy into the care system to protect him from Davy, or did Davy put him there after Lucy died so he could recollect hm once Simon turned 11?
It was an awesome wrap-up, though the main plot was a bit flat.Like, I actually think the B-plot with Shepard's demon fiancée was more interesting than the Chosen One charlatan. Both interesting all the same, though, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.
I'll miss the World of Mages. Goodbye, my friends.

Tldr; there were some shortcomings, but this is one of the best ends to a trilogy I’ve ever read.
