Whilst the story and the series is serious at times, has stakes and features grim themes, this book (and entire series) filled me with so much joy! If you’re looking for a diverse story filled with distinct aspects of many genres, without having to invest in a 10-book series or 1000 pages of complicated lore, I highly recommend this book (as the finale of the series). The story is fast moving without skimping on character development, immersion or wit.
I really appreciated the careful way this book covered dark topics and gritty elements without being heavy-handed or graphic. It also didn’t take itself too seriously, and was really fun at times (without trivialising the story or making the characters one-dimensional).
Also, the audiobook was delightful. I prefer to read than listen, but when the second book of the series was only available in audiobook form (and I was too impatient to wait for the eBook having just finished the first book), I had no choice and I’m so glad I didn’t. The narration and characterisation was so endearing and really brought me into the story, and I chose to finish the series in audiobook form instead.

I'm so worried that such a beautiful and great trilogy ended. I want to learn about this world and get to read about Arthur and Rory's love life. It would be a delight to read more about them. The ending was awesome.
It was a highly emotional one as it made me cry terribly. I couldn't control it when rory thought that he doesn't have anyone or when he was upset about Mrs.Brodigan leaving him or when he was scared of meeting his father.
I just wanted to beat his ridiculous father till he dies. Just because of him, Rory can't seem to accept that there are people who will take care of him. His fear made me cry even more. What the hell?? This book is making me cry at every small thing.
I was immensely happy when Rory finally took control of the tempest ring and when he scolded Arthur for hiding information from him about the person who purchased that warehouse. They're really a cute pair. I want more scenes for them.
It was adorable when arthur got jealous of Sebastian and Rory. The thing I didn't expected was Wesley advising Arthur not to accept defeat so fast and asked him to fight for Rory. I clearly began to like Wesley in that moment.
