Generally, I think the first three books of the series were so good, the characters, world building, plots. I was in love!... and then came book 4-6. This book was readable, and quite a quick read, yet it felt like it was more of a money-maker; the quality was not prioritised.

Bonuspoint: I don't remember the prior books being THIS awkward and corny.

3.5 I wanted to like this as much as the rest of the series, but it was missing something that made the other novels so fun to read. I think the series should've stopped at book 4.

Probably my least favourite book in the series so far (and I love this series).

For me The Conference of The Birds felt flat, it was a filler novel that (in my mind) should have been twice the length to actually close off the story... There are two or three stories running at once, none of which really get any closure or solid explanation and I'm left feeling disappointed more than anything.

Don't get me wrong, my reading tastes have changed over the years, it might just be YA isn't for me anymore. Lowest score of the series so far!
